Ii. Shaganov et al., Spectroscopic characteristics of SiO and SiO2 solid films: Assignment and local field effect influence, J MAT S-M E, 12(4-6), 2001, pp. 351-355
A number of thin SiOx (x=1, 2) films formed on silicon and reflection-absor
ption substrates were investigated using infrared transmission and aluminiz
ed glass techniques. The application of these techniques to SiO and SiO2 fi
lms at normal and oblique incidence of light allows the observation of both
the longitudinal and transverse optical phonons. The longitudinal-transver
se optical phonon splitting is analyzed in terms of a dispersive local fiel
d effect. (C) 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
