FIG. l. Optical absorption coefficient, ~, as a function of photon energy. The solid symbols refer to data
obtained at different measurement temperatures, T~.
The open symbols refer to a film that has been isochronally heated at temperature TH, as described in
the text.

where we have eliminated K in Eq. (3) by imposing the condition that E,(T, X) -kT/o, as T-~,
with 00 an Urbach edge parameter of order unity.
In Eq. (4), X= (U')/(U'), is a measure of the
structural disorder normalized to (U') the
zero-point uncertainty in the atomic positions.
To relate the temperature dependence of E,(T,
X) to E~(T), we first separate the temperature
dependence of E~ into two different components
as follows':

The first term on the right-hand side of Eq. (5)
is the explicit temperature dependence and the
second term is the implicit dependence due to
