V. Vorlicek et al., QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF RAMAN-SCATTERING AND DEFECT OPTICAL-ABSORPTION IN CVD DIAMOND FILMS, DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS, 6(5-7), 1997, pp. 704-707
Raman spectra and sub-bandgap optical absorption measured by photother
mal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) of CVD diamond films are compared an
d discussed in terms of the concentration of the non-diamond component
. A reasonably good one-to-one correspondence is found, implying the p
lausibility of the recent estimate of the Raman cross-section for a-C
as well as the capability of the absorption spectroscopy to identify t
he presence of non-diamond phase with a high sensitivity. (C) 1997 Els
