Title: | Defect-induced optical absorption in CVD diamond films | Authors: | NESLADEK, Milos Vanecek, M STALS, Lambert |
Issue Date: | 1996 | Publisher: | AKADEMIE VERLAG GMBH | Source: | PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI A-APPLIED RESEARCH, 154(1). p. 283-303 | Abstract: | Photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) was used to study defect-induced optical absorption in CVD diamond films. PDS has shown very high sensitivity, allowing to measure absorbance values down to 10(-5) level. Moreover, PDS is significantly less sensitive to elastic light scattering than optical transmission measurements. Based on PDS data, it is shown that undoped polycrystalline and homoepitaxial diamond Films exhibit a very characteristic subgap absorption, which is ascribed to electronic transitions between pi --> pi* states, appearing in the gap and due to the presence of amorphous carbon. The incorporation of N (and H and O) atoms in diamond films was studied. The optical absorption of N-doped films is compared with the optical absorption due to single substitutional N in Ib synthetic diamond. The incorporation of Li by in-situ doping with organo-metallic compounds during Film growth is discussed and the observed transitions are tentatively explained. Finally, a mathematical model for the characteristic subgap absorption is described and the experimentally obtained optical absorption coefficients are deconvoluted to obtain parameters for the description of the density of gap states. | Notes: | ACAD SCI CZECH REPUBL,INST PHYS,CR-16200 PRAGUE,CZECH REPUBLIC.Nesladek, M, LIMBURGS UNIV CENTRUM,INST MAT RES,DIV MAT PHYS,WETENSCHAPSPARK 1,B-3590 DIEPENBEEK,BELGIUM. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/3448 | ISI #: | A1996UE16100020 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
