摘要
Optical properties of bireffingent porous-silicon layers are studied within the density functional theory. Starting from a (110)-oriented supercell of 32 silicon atoms, elliptic columns of atoms in [100] and [010] directions are removed. The dangling bonds are saturated with hydrogen atoms. The results show an inplane anisotropy in the refractive index and in the absorption coefficient, i.e., a birefringence response. The difference Delta n defined as n([1 (1) over bar0]) - n([001]) is compared with experimental data and a good agreement is observed. Also, the calculated absorption coefficients behave very closely to the measured ones. (c) 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
