Abstract
The energy dependence of the conduction band mass in amorphous SiO2 was ded uced from quantum interference oscillations in the ballistic electron emiss ion microscope current, and separately from Monte Carlo simulations of the electron mean free paths obtained by internal photoemission. The results im ply a strong nonparabolicity of the conduction band of SiO2. (C) 1999 Ameri can Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)00836-0].
