21. The term "longitudinal" polarization field should be understood in the context that the vibrational modes produce dipoles that are directed essentially parallel to the surface of the ncs. We did not observe similar PIA spectra for other vibrations of the Si-O-Si bonds where the oxygen atoms vibrate perpendicular to the Si-Si surface plane.
