The Influence of Silicon Nanoclusters on the Optical Properties of a-SiNx Samples: A Theoretical Study

R. Guerra, M. Ippolito, S. Meloni +1

By means of ab-initio calculations we investigate the optical properties of pure a-SiN${}_x$ samples, with $x\in [0.4,1.8]$, and samples embedding silicon nanoclusters (NCs) of dia…
