Experimental identification of the optical phonon of CoSi2 in the infrared

A weak but clear optical structure was detected at 329 cm −1 by both reflectance and transmittance measurements in the far infrared on a 430 Å film of CoSi 2 grown on Si(100). This is the first observation of the IR vibrational mode of the cubic structure of CoSi 2 and the result is in very good agr...

Zusammenfassung:A weak but clear optical structure was detected at 329 cm −1 by both reflectance and transmittance measurements in the far infrared on a 430 Å film of CoSi 2 grown on Si(100). This is the first observation of the IR vibrational mode of the cubic structure of CoSi 2 and the result is in very good agreement with theoretical calculations. In order to characterize the sample, the reflectance was extended up to 5.2 × 10 4 cm −1 and the refractive index was also directly obtained in a more limited spectral range by spectroscopic ellipsometry. The IR structure was then quantitatively analyzed by means of a fit procedure, obtaining the values of ω 0 = 327 cm −1 for the phonon energy, of γ = 10.5 cm −1 for the damping parameter and of 0.006 electronic charges for the screened effective ionic charge.
