Infrared transmission (lambda = 10.6 mum) of samples consisting of two symm
etric plane-parallel halves of a Bi single crystal separated by a gap were
studied in a pulsed magnetic field. Oscillations associated with interband
optical transitions involving Landau levels were observed at 80-280 K. The
temperature dependences of the energy gap, effective masses, and relaxation
time of carriers were determined. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
