Ip. Ipatova et al., THE ENHANCEMENT FACTOR OF HYPER-RAMAN SCATTERING FROM AN INHOMOGENEOUS SEMICONDUCTOR SURFACE, Surface science, 377(1-3), 1997, pp. 436-439
Hyper-Raman scattering (HRS) of light from the inhomogeneous surface r
egion of a semiconductor is considered theoretically. The HRS enhancem
ent factor induced by band-bending inhomogeneities in a heavily doped,
degenerate semiconductor is evaluated. It is argued that such enhance
ment effects can be exploited for special applications, e.g., for a mi
cro-HRS induced by a metal tip on a semiconductor surface.
