“…5 In these compounds, the silicon atom is coordinated by four O or Si atoms and the O atom is coordinated by two Si atoms. The atomic and electronic structure of SiO x was studied by photoelectron spectroscopy, 6 high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, 6 secondary ion mass spectrometry, 6 photoemission spectroscopy, 7 infrared spectroscopy, 8 optical methods, 9 and electron paramagnetic resonance. 10 Nevertheless, there is no universal model for SiO x electron structure.…”
