About the Luminescence Mechanisms of Composite a-Si:nc-Si System Obtained by Ion-Beam Amorphization in the Wide Dose Region
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
Red/near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) of silicon irradiated by ions for wide dose range is investigated. The results are presented obtained for doses near amorphization threshold, where PL is associated with the formation of composite structure composed of nanocrystals (quantum dots) embedded into amorphized matrix and for doses that are strongly larger than amorphization threshold. The PL in this case is caused by formation of nanocrystals due to recrystallization of amorphous layer and penetration of stresses behind the border of this layer.
