The size dependence of light emission is well exhibited when the a-Si:H sublayer thickness is thinner than 4 nm and the interface states are well passlvated by hydrogen. For the nc-Si/Si02 MLs, the oxygen modified interface states and nanocrystalline silicon play a predominant role in the properties of light emission. It is found that the light emission from nc-Si/SiO2 is in agreement with the model of interface state combining with quantum confinement when the size of nc-Si is smaller than 4 nm. The role of hydrogen and oxygen is discussed in detail.展开更多

The samples were prepared by the ultra-high vacuum electron beam evaporation. The clear band gaps were observed. Satisfactory agreement between experimental and calculated results was obtained without fitting. The thickness of SiO_(2 )film has influence on the photonic band gap, as well as it awfully affects the transmittance of Ag. More layers can get clearer PBG.展开更多

The Si-layer-thickness ratio of the Si/SiO2 film is a very important parameter for enhancing the peak intensity because the ratio is concerned with the size of Si nanocrystals in the film, which might affect the intensity of the UV light emission from the film. We prepared seven samples with various estimated Si-layer-thickness ratios, and measured the photoluminescence spectra of the samples after annealing at 1150°C, 1200°C, or 1250°C for 25 min. From our experiments, we estimate that the proper Si-layer-thickness ratio to obtain the strongest UV peaks from the Si/SiO2 multilayered films is around 0.29. Such a UV-lightemitting thin film is expected to be used in future higher-density optical-disk systems.展开更多
