    Notes: In this work, we compare experimental measured density of defects in amorphous silicon-carbon alloys with a theoretical expression obtained by applying a thermodynamic equilibrium defects model to the intrinsic defect concentration in the semiconductor. The samples were deposited under different conditions of hydrogen dilutions and two substrate temperatures. The density of defects was determined by photothermal deflection and photoconductivity spectroscopy. The expression of the equilibrium density of defects is obtained starting from the canonical partition function assuming two independent systems of Si-Si and Si-C dangling bonds. A weak-bond defect formation reaction is assumed in the analysis. Linear approximations of the equilibrium temperature and the valence band exponential decay (Urbach's tail) are used for the numerical calculations. The trend of the experimental data are well represented by the theoretical expression. The model, however, overestimates the density of defects in samples deposited onto substrata maintained at the lower of two temperatures.

    Notes: The room-temperature cathodoluminescence of diamondlike films produced by glow discharge is reported. The material was deposited onto dc biased substrates maintained at relatively low temperature (〈100 °C). Two visible peaks around 2.3 eV (green) and 2.7 eV (blue-violet) were identified which are commonly found in natural and synthetic diamond, indicating the presence of crystalline particles in the films. Moreover, x-ray diffraction spectra of the samples before cathodoluminescence studies are identical to the ones reported for natural powder diamond.

    Notes: This work reports the influence of diluting with hydrogen the gaseous mixture of methane and silane on the electrical and optical properties of silicon–carbon alloys deposited by glow discharge. Impressively high secondary photoconductivities, low density of gap defects states and Urbach energy parameter were found in materials prepared in suitable hydrogen dilution conditions. Experiments on temperature dependence of dark and under white light illumination conductivity are also reported and interpreted. Depending on the dilution and substrate temperature, the Fermi level shift toward the conduction band, suggesting a combined effect of low density of defects and sensitization as the causes of the high photoconductivities. IR studies show that appropriate hydrogen dilution and substrate temperature prevent the silicon atoms from forming high order hydrides. Consequently, a more compact structure with better electronic properties is obtained.

    Notes: We show that the theoretical arguments used in the preceding comment do not apply to our experiments, and that our interpretation of the behavior of the Si-H stretching band in a-SiC:H in terms of structural influences is correct.

    Notes: Amorphous silicon carbide (a-Si1−xCx:H) samples having x ≤ 0.4 were studied by infrared and visible spectroscopy. Treatment by factor analysis of the 2000–2100 cm−1 absorption band of the spectra allows us to interpret this particular vibrational mode in terms of only two independent contributions. The analysis shows that polarization inductive shifting is not significant. An IR study of the evolution of this band during oxidation of porous samples was also performed. All the experimental evidence indicates that the growth of free volumes induced by the presence of carbon plays the most important role in the behavior of the 2000–2100 cm−1 band upon stoichiometric variations.

    Notes: The isotopic effect on the infrared spectra is used to determine the existence of nitrogen–hydrogen bonds in amorphous carbon–nitrogen alloys (a-CNx) prepared by dual-ion-beam-assisted deposition. The deuteration experiments and the evolution of the infrared spectra upon atmospheric exposure show that hydroxyls are incorporated from atmospheric moisture. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The influence of H on the local structure of N-containing amorphous diamondlike films (a-CNx:H) is reported. The samples were prepared by rf sputtering of graphite in a N2, Ar, and H2 atmosphere. The chemical bonding of C and N atoms was inferred by analyzing the C 1s and N 1s electronic core-level by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Hydrogen free films present N 1s peaks with a "doublet", located at 398.2–400.5 eV. When H is introduced in the preparation chamber, the doublet evolves to a single wider band located at 399.1 eV. This new band becomes dominant when increasing H2 partial pressure, completely hiding the original structure. High H2 partial pressure interrupts the growing network formed by N and C due to the attachment of H to N and/or C. Furthermore, the experimental results suggest that the possibility of formation of the C3N4 phaselike is inhibited by the presence of hydrogen. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Time resolved photoluminescence of porous silicon at room temperature was measured for several emission energies under 2 ns nitrogen laser excitation. For each emission energy studied there is a broad distribution of lifetimes extending over a few decades. The mean value of the distribution varies with the emission energy, from 3 (2.77 eV) to 50 μs (1.96 eV). The results can be explained by assuming a tunneling limited recombination mechanism between bands of localized states. We associate this behavior with a superficial disordered Si:O:H compound rather than with quantum confinement effects.

    Notes: Transmission electron microscopy is used to reveal the existence of an interconnected nanosize structure in porous silicon films. The interconnections of this nanostructure determine the photoexcited electron-hole pair separation and consequently the luminescence efficiency of the material. Efficient photoluminescence is obtained from structures which shows no connectivity.
