Clustering and gap states in amorphous carbon

Pages 143-148 | Received 30 Oct 1987, Accepted 11 Nov 1987, Published online: 20 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

The sp2 sites present in the various forms of amorphous carbon have been shown to form aromatic clusters whose size determines the width of the local band gap. A fluctuating band-edge model is developed to describe the effects of this clustering on the localization of states around the gap. It is shown how localized states exist at energies well above the optical gap of a-C:H.
