摘要: Abstract The optical and electronic properties of amorphous carbon (a-C) films are studied with spectroscopic ellipsometry in the extended energy region from IR to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV). results discussed view structure diamond graphite density states a-C states. It is demonstrated that investigation UV VUV regions can reveal not only their diamond- or graphite-like character, but also local configuration, based on fact strong σ→σ* transitions takes place at high energies. For example, absorption peak sp3 bonded C occurs 9.3 eV, whereas sp2 peaks π σ excitations varies fraction sites. We discuss criteria which calculation bulk dielectric function e(ω) becomes feasible beyond measured range. Based above, effective constant eeff due transitions, number electrons per atom neff, provides valuable information type bonding materials.
