Hydrogen local mode energy

Because of the lattice damage, the absorptions due to the local modes of vibration are usually broader in implanted materials than, for instance, in plasma diffused samples. For proton energies around 1 MeV, the line-widths are in the range 5-100 cm-1 (as compared with 0.1-5 cm-1 for plasma hydrogenation). 

Table V summarizes all the sharp absorptions due to local modes of vibration in proton and deuteron implanted GaP, GaAs and InP. It has to be noted that the results depend upon the reports. For instance, for GaP implanted with protons, Newman and Woodhead (1980) observed only one line at 1849 cm-1 whereas Sobotta et al. (1981) observed only one line at 2204 cm-1. These differences probably come from the differences in implantation conditions. However, unfortunately, these conditions are not always well described in the literature the ion energy and dose are usually given, but the ion current is specified only by Tatarkiewicz et al. (1987, 1988). This parameter is of importance as it contributes to control local temperature and therefore the defect creation and the binding of hydrogen to the lattice. 

As an introduction to the theory as it relates to these defect complexes, we point out that the most conspicuous experimental feature of a light impurity such as hydrogen is its high local-mode frequency (Cardona, 1983). Therefore, it is essential that the computational scheme produce total energies with respect to atomic coordinates and, in particular, vibrational frequencies, so that contact with experiment can be established. With total-energy capabilities, equilibrium geometries and migration and reorientation barriers can be predicted as well.

Three peaks have been reported in the low energy INS spectrum of hydrogen on platinum black [53]. A peak at 400 cm was assigned to a local mode of vibration of hydrogen on the surface. The peaks at 177 cm and 104 cm corresponded to the INS spectrum of platinum alone observed through the riding modes.

The local mode description with only one bond such as X-H being in motion at a time leads us to consider the polyatomic molecule as a single diatomic molecule M-H where H is hydrogen and M denotes the full rest of the molecule. The main advantage of this description is the dramatic reduction of the number of coupling constants. The anharmonic oscillator potential adopted in the local mode model is the Morse potential, which takes account of the dissociation energy De (53). 

The low concentration of 0.8 M ensures that the OH mode is utilized as an ultrafast local probe for hydrogen bonds while quasi-resonant energy transfer to neighboring OH groups is negligible.
