Localized mode

Dennison coupling produces a pattern in the spectrum that is very distinctly different from the pattern of a pure nonnal modes Hamiltonian , without coupling, such as (Al.2,7 ). Then, when we look at the classical Hamiltonian corresponding to the Darling-Deimison quantum fitting Hamiltonian, we will subject it to the mathematical tool of bifiircation analysis [M]- From this, we will infer a dramatic birth in bifiircations of new natural motions of the molecule, i.e. local modes. This will be directly coimected with the distinctive quantum spectral pattern of the polyads. Some aspects of the pattern can be accounted for by the classical bifiircation analysis while others give evidence of intrinsically non-classical effects in the quantum dynamics. 

Figure Al.2.10. Birth of local modes in a bifurcation. In (a), before the bifiircation there are stable anhamionic symmetric and antisymmetric stretch modes, as in figure Al.2.6. At a critical value of the energy and polyad number, one of the modes, in this example the symmetric stretch, becomes unstable and new stable local modes are bom in a bifurcation the system is shown shortly after the bifiircation in (b), where the new modes have moved away from the unstable syimnetric stretch. In (c), the new modes clearly have taken the character of the anliamionic local modes.

To nnderstand the internal molecnlar motions, we have placed great store in classical mechanics to obtain a picture of the dynamics of the molecnle and to predict associated patterns that can be observed in quantum spectra. Of course, the classical picture is at best an imprecise image, becanse the molecnlar dynamics are intrinsically quantum mechanical. Nonetheless, the classical metaphor mnst surely possess a large kernel of truth. The classical stnichire brought out by the bifiircation analysis has accounted for real patterns seen in wavefimctions and also for patterns observed in spectra, snch as the existence of local mode doublets, and the... 

Flowever, we have also seen that some of the properties of quantum spectra are mtrinsically non-classical, apart from the discreteness of qiiantnm states and energy levels implied by the very existence of quanta. An example is the splitting of the local mode doublets, which was ascribed to dynamical tiumelling, i.e. processes which classically are forbidden. We can ask if non-classical effects are ubiquitous in spectra and, if so, are there manifestations accessible to observation other than those we have encountered so far If there are such manifestations, it seems likely that they will constitute subtle peculiarities m spectral patterns, whose discennnent and interpretation will be an important challenge.

This local mode behaviour applies to vibrations of many other molecules with two or more equivalent terminal atoms, and CO2 is such an example. 

It should be realized, though, that either model can be used for levels for all values of v for such stretching vibrations but the normal mode model is more practically useful at low v and the local mode model more useful at higher values of v. 

To illustrate the first point concerning a spectator bond for the abstraction reaction, Fig. 17 shows the total reaction probability for the abstraction reaction as a function of the translational energy for total angular momentum J = 0 on the YZCL2 PES with the H20 reactant in the ground rovibrational state [the (00)(0) state in the local mode notation], where the uncleaved bond OHb is treated in various ways. Using a limited number of one or five vibrational basis functions, VBF(OHb) = 1 or 5, means that the OHb bond is unreactive, a spectator. The abstraction reaction probability... 

J.M. Thomas The energy resolution attainable with the electron spectrometers that have been available up to the present is inadequate to detect the fine structure that may be expected from phonon or local modes. With continued improvements, one may reasonably expect some progress in this direction but, at present, more information is retrievable from the fine structure, discussed in the text, that arises from causes other than vibrational modes.

Here, the vibrational spectroscopy of H-related complexes in Si, with and without stress, will be reviewed. We will find that in spite of the recent progress made toward understanding defect-H local modes in semiconductors, there is still much work to be done. 

Substitutional B in Si has a triply degenerate local mode that is observed in both IR absorption and Raman spectra. There are two naturally occur-ing isotopes, nB (82.2%) and 10B (18.8%), with distinct vibrational bands near 623 and 646 cm-1, respectively (Newman, 1969). Changes in the Raman spectrum of the B local mode upon passivation by H or D have been studied (Stutzmann, 1987 Stutzmann and Herrero, 1988a,b Herrero and Stutzmann, 1988a). Spectra are shown in Fig. 6 for samples of B doped Si that are unpassivated and passivated by H and D. Upon passivation, the vibrations due to isolated B are reduced in intensity and new features appear at 652 and 680 cm-1 independent of whether the B is complexed with Hor D. 

It was argued that the Raman spectra of the B local mode provide further evidence for the BC configuration of the B—H complex (Stutzmann and Herrero, 1988b Herrero and Stutzmann, 1988a). The B vibration of the complex is not affected by the substitution of D for the lighter H this implies that the B—H bond is weak, consistent with the BC model.

The observation of most of the lines reported in Table IV is not correlated with the doping of the material. At least two possibilities exist to explain them they are either due to the neutralization by hydrogen of accidental impurities or to the local mode of vibration of hydrogen at a lattice defect site. 

Evidence exists that some of the lines correspond to the second type of complexes. Figure 20 shows with the same wavenumber scale the absorption in bulk as grown InP material and in proton and deuteron implanted material. It is clear that the two local modes of vibration are observed at exactly the same energies (2202.4 cm-1 and 2315.6 cm-1) in as grown and... 

The second type of absorption concerns local modes of vibration of defects or complexes involving hydrogen or deuterium. 

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. 

The thermal stability of the centers responsible for the local modes of vibration has been investigated. In GaP, Sobotta etal. (1981) observed that annealing of the implanted samples at 240°C for one hour leads to a narrowing of the 2204 cm 1 absorption line. This is due to the annealing of the radiation damage. Annealing at 400°C for one hour decreases drasti-...
