Abstract

The demonstration of role of mobile interstitial oxygen atoms (O 0) in defect processes in oxides by interconversion between the oxygen dangling bond and the peroxy radical (POR) in SiO2 glass was presented. It was found tha superstoichiometric O0 was created by the oxygen dangling bond to POR. Exposure to 5.0 eV light converted POR back to a pair of the oxygen dangling bond and O0. Analysis suggests that various defect processes typically occurring in SiO2 glass at ∼300-500°C were related to the migration.
