Abstract

Applying laser ablation technique, we have synthesized two types of SiO2 films that include nanometer-sized Si particles. One is synthesized by alternative deposition of Si nanoparticles layers and SiO2 layers. The synthesized film exhibits red photoluminescence (PL) with a peak energy below 1.5 eV. The other is synthesized by annealing at 1000°C of SiOx films, which are formed by laser ablation in diluted O2 gas. We find that there is a narrow range of composition for efficient red PL. Based on the experimental results, we tentatively discuss a possible model for the origin of the red PL.
