betaSiCA.dat is tab delimited text of the
merged laboratory absorbance spectrum (λ = 2.5-16.36 μm) of
(3C-) β-SiC. The left column is the frequency in wavenumbers.
The right column is the chemical absorbance
(common logarithm based). The thickness of the sample is 0.34 microns,
see text for discussion.
alphSiCA.dat is tab delimited text of the
merged laboratory absorbance spectrum of
(6H-) α-SiC. The left column is the frequency in wavenumbers.
The right column is the chemical absorbance
(common logarithm based). The thickness of the sample is 0.54 microns,
see text for discussion.
aSiCperA.dat is tab delimited text
of the ideal absorbance spectrum for (6H-) α-SiC, ordinary ray (i.e.,
electric field vector E perpendicular to c crystal axis), calculated from
classical dispersion analysis. The left column is frequency in wavenumbers
(1/cm) and the right column is absorption coefficient (1/cm).
aSiCperA.dat is tab delimited text
of the ideal absorbance spectrum for (6H-) α-SiC, extraordinary
ray (i.e., E parallel to c), calculated from
classical dispersion analysis. The left column is frequency in wavenumbers
(1/cm) and the right column is absorption coefficient (1/cm).
pureSiC_nk.dat is tab delimited text
of the real and imaginary indices of refraction for pure SiC (applicable
for either 3C β-SiC or 6H α-SiC, ordinary
ray), calculated from
classical dispersion analysis. The left column is frequency in wavenumbers
(1/cm), middle column is n (real index of refraction), and the right column
is k (imaginary index of refraction). See Sec. 4.3.3 in paper text for discussion.
impureSiC_nk.dat is tab delimited text
of the real and imaginary indices of refraction for impure SiC (applicable
for either 3C β-SiC or 6H α-SiC, ordinary
ray), calculated from
classical dispersion analysis. The left column is frequency in wavenumbers
(1/cm), middle column is n (real index of refraction), and the right column
is k (imaginary index of refraction). See Sec. 4.3.3 in paper text for discussi
