Band structure of indium oxide: Indirect versus direct band gap

The nature of the band gap of indium oxide is still a matter of debate. Based on optical measurements the presence of an indirect band gap has been suggested, which is 0.9 to 1.1 eV smaller than the direct band gap at the Γ point. This could be caused by strong mixing of O 2p and In 4d orbitals off...
