Abstract

In the optical reflectance spectrum of the random multilayers of a-Si:H/a-Si3N4+x:H, it is observed an anomalous peak which is explained by the classical localization of light propagation. The following two subjects are discussed in this report; (a). The Kramers-Kronig transformation is done including the anomalous disorder-related reflectance peak. Extra absorption coefficients Δα are obtained by this analysis. Energy dependence of the localization length 1(hv) of light propagation are obtained by 1(hv)=1/Δα(hv). (b). The other is the experiment on scaling where the ratio of the disorder and the average layer thickness is kept constant but the size of each layer is changed in each experiment
