Abstract
We have found a decrease in the intensity of the 7.6-eV band and the appearance of the Si-H band upon heating glasses, which were prepared by a method involving processes of dehydration with gas, in gas. The absorption cross section of the 7.6-eV band evaluated from these changes is 7.5× , which is close to that of a band centered at 7.56 eV of the molecule containing a Si-Si bond. These results give experimental evidence for the Si-Si bond model of the 7.6-eV band in unirradiated glass.
