Observation of strong bulk oxidation effects in amorphous germanium by ultraviolet reflectance spectroscopy

Abstract
The effect of air exposure on the reflectance of evaporated amorphous and crystalline germanium for photon energies 2.5 ≤ h ν ≤ 11.7 eV has been studied in order to compare their oxidation rates. For h ν ≳ 4 eV , much larger changes in reflectance are observed in the amorphous films than are found in the crystalline films.
