Deep photoluminescence in S&i 1 -,Ge,/Si quantum wells created by ion implantation and annealing

چکیده
Strong broad photoluminescence similar to that observed in some materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been observed in Si/Si, -,Ge,/Si quantum wells grown by chemical vapor deposition. As grown, the samples exhibited SiGe band-edge phonon-resolved bound-exciton luminescence, but after being self-implanted with silicon and annealed at 600 “C, a deep broad luminescence band 80-100 meV below the excitonic gap was observed. This strong luminescence disappeared with an 800 “C anneal and had a pump power and temperature dependence similar to that observed in MBE samples. This is the first time that such luminescence has been observed in material other than that grown by MBE.

Suppression of the internal electric field effects in ZnO/Zn(0.7)Mg(0.3)O quantum wells by ion-implantation induced intermixing.
Strong suppression of the effects caused by the internal electric field in ZnO/ZnMgO quantum wells following ion-implantation and rapid thermal annealing, is revealed by photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence, and band structure calculations. The implantation and annealing induces Zn/Mg intermixing, resulting in graded quantum well interfaces. This reduces the quantum-confined Stark...

It has been recently established that upon annealing at high temperatures impurity atoms implanted into SiO2 matrix precipitate and form crystal islands with nanometer size. These nanostructures are expected to have interesting electrical and optical properties which can be utilized in the production of new optoand micro-electronic devices. In this work, properties of Ge and Si nanocrystals for...
متن کاملTemperature dependent photoluminescence in oxygen ion implanted and rapid thermally annealed ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum wells
The authors investigate the effect of oxygen implantation and rapid thermal annealing in ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum wells using photoluminescence. A blueshift in the photoluminescence is observed in the implanted samples. For a low implantation dose, a significant increase of activation energy and a slight increase of the photoluminescence efficiency are observed. This is attributed to the supp...
