Abstract
Using IR spectroscopy and spectral multiple-angle ellipsometry the influence of UV illumination is investigated on the structural characteristics of thin SiO 2 films subjected to low-energy ion bombardment. The effect of annihilation of radiation damage (oxygen vacancies) with UV quanta is found. A brief discussion of the mechanism leading to light-assisted structural transformations is presented.
