Abstract
Spectra of the sets of fundamental optical functions were determined in the range of 2–5 eV at 295 K for six silicon phases: a single crystal, a porous silicon matrix, an amorphous film, microcrystalline films with and without hydrogen, and na-Si in a SiO2 matrix. Experimental permittivity spectra were used in the calculation. The main features of these spectra and dependences of energy of their structure on the nature of a silicon phase were established.
