Silicon-hydrogen bond-stretching vibrations in hydrogenated amorphous silicon-nitrogen alloys

Abstract

This report is an extension of a previously published study of silicon-hydrogen (Si-H) bond-stretching vibrations in hydrogenated amorphous silicon-oxygen alloys. We demonstrate that a quantitative model developed to describe inductive shifts of the Si-H stretching-mode frequencies in these alloys can also be applied to hydrogenated silicon-nitrogen alloys.
