Enhanced ultraviolet photoluminescence from SiO2 ÕGe:SiO2 ÕSiO2 sandwiched structure

چکیده
SiO2 /Ge:SiO2 /SiO2 sandwiched structure was fabricated for exploring efficient light emission. After annealed in N2 (O2,1%), this structure shows three photoluminescence ~PL! bands at 293, 395, and 780 nm. The intensity of the 395 nm band is largely enhanced in comparison with that from the monolayered Ge:SiO2 film. Spectral analyses suggest that the three PL bands originate from S1→S0 , T((T))→S0 , and T) 8 →S0 optical transitions in GeO color centers, respectively. The improvement of the GeO density resulting from the confinement on Ge diffusion is responsible for the enhanced ultraviolet PL. This structure is expected to have important applications in optoelectronics. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!01446-7#

Ultraviolet photoluminescence of ZnO quantum dots sputtered at room-temperature.
We observe ultraviolet photoluminescence from sputtered ZnO quantum dots which are fabricated with no annealing steps. The nanocrystals are embedded in amorphous SiO2 and exhibit a narrow size distribution of 3.5 ± 0.6 nm. Photoluminescence and transmittance measurements show a shift of ultraviolet emission and absorption of the dots compared to bulk ZnO material. This work paves the way for ch...
متن کاملIntense violet-blue emitting (CaCl2/SiO2) : Eu2+ phosphor powders for applications in UV-LED based phototherapy illuminators
An intense violet–blue emitting (CaCl2/SiO2) : Eu2+ phosphor with a composition of 25% CaCl2 and 75% SiO2 is prepared by a solid state reaction. The phosphor emits at 427 nm with a narrow bandwidth of 21 nm. The photoluminescence (PL) intensities and fluorescence lifetimes are studied as a function of Eu2+ concentrations. It is observed that the PL intensity of (CaCl2/SiO2) : Eu2+ can be 30% hi...
متن کاملEffect of annealing treatments on photoluminescence and charge storage mechanism in silicon-rich SiNx:H films
In this study, a wide range of a-SiNx:H films with an excess of silicon (20 to 50%) were prepared with an electron-cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system under the flows of NH3 and SiH4. The silicon-rich a-SiNx:H films (SRSN) were sandwiched between a bottom thermal SiO2 and a top Si3N4 layer, and subsequently annealed within the temperature range of 500-1100°C in ...
متن کاملEnhanced photoluminescence from CdS with SiO2 nanopillar arrays
In this paper, the enhanced photoluminescence from CdS thin film with SiO2 nanopillar array (NPA) was demonstrated. The CdS was prepared using chemical bath deposition in a solution bath containing CdSO4, SC(NH2)2, and NH4OH. The SiO2 NPA was fabricated by the nanosphere lithography (NSL) techniques. The nanopillar is about 50 nm in diameter, and the height is 150 nm. As a result, the sample wi...
