Abstract

We present temperature-dependent reflectance measurements of layered transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS2 in the frequency range from 100 to 40,000 cm-1 (0.012--5 eV). 1T-TaS2 undergoes two metal-insulator transitions at T=350 K, and 180K. Both transitions lead to decrease of low frequency optical conductivity with second transition demonstrating hysteresis both in dc- and optical conductivity. We discuss how the metal-insulator transitions affect free carriers, direct optical transitions and phonon spectrum of the 1T-TaS_2.
