Reflectivity spectra of R 3 Au 3 Sb 4 (R=La, Ce) polycrystals were measured in the photon energy range from 5 meV to 40 eV at 6, 78 and 297 K. A narrow energy gap was observed for both materials. In La 3 Au 3 Sb 4 , it was seen that the energy gap of about 150 meV is an indirect one. The absorption due to the direct and allowed transition was observed around 0.7 eV. These results are consistent with the calculated band structure. In Ce 3 Au 3 Sb 4 , it was seen that the energy gap of about 70 meV is a direct one. The gap is considered to consist of the occupied 4 f state and the unoccupied 5 d state.
