Popis: Linearly polarized electroreflectance (ER) measurements have been firstly performed on PSi with near-normal incident (NNI) and glancing-angle incident (GAI) light. In the NNI geometry, no significant polarization anisotropy is observed. Meanwhile, in GAI geometry, a clear polarization anisotropy is observed. The s-polarized ER spectrum consists of the ER features corresponding to those found in the NNI geometry, while in the p-polarized ER spectrum, the two features found in s-polarized spectrum in infrared-visible region are not found, while a new feature is observed at ∼2.1 eV. The mechanism of the unusual polarization anisotropy is discussed in association with structural anisotropy of PSi.
