摘要: The optical absorption edges and the dispersion behaviour of refractive index have been determined as a function composition x for thin films a-SiNx(:H), prepared (i) by glow-discharge decomposition gaseous mixture silane ammonia (ii) radio-frequency sputtering silicon in an argon-nitrogen(-hydrogen) atmosphere. data with without hydrogen used to evaluate certain characteristic energies these are then related other experimental results, particular those from photo-emission measurements.
