[The thin film and absorption spectra of CsCu2I3]
Abstract:
This paper introduces a method of manufacturing CsCu2I3 thin films through hot evaporation. According to the absorption spectra at low temperature, the excitonic coefficient of CsCu2I3 was calculated. The spectral analysis shows that the localization of electron and exciton excitations in the twofold Chain created by CuI4(3-) causes the complicated character of the optical spectra of CsCu2I3.

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
