Abstract
We measured the optical reflectivity of [001]-oriented -doped in a broad frequency range (50–22 000 ) for temperatures from 10 to 300 K. The optical conductivity, , is isotropic within the (001) plane; its real part follows a power law, , in a large interval from 2000 to . This behavior is caused by interband transitions between two Dirac bands, which are effectively described by a sublinear dispersion relation, . The momentum-averaged Fermi velocity of the carriers in these bands is energy dependent and ranges from to m/s, depending on the distance from the Dirac points. We detect a gaplike feature in and associate it with the Fermi level positioned around 100 meV above the Dirac points.
