摘要
A strong enhancement of the Er3+-related 1.54 mum emission. was obtained from Er-doped porous silicon (PSi), when host PSi was slightly oxidized before Er incorporation. Separate measurements of the energy transfer and the Auger. deexcitation between carriers in Si crystallites of preoxidized PSi and Er3+ ions were measured as functions of the preoxidized time or the thickness of the SiO2 interlayer, and revealed that a 1 nm order thick SiO2 interlayer between Si crystallites and Er3+ ions suppressed the Auger energy backflow strongly with only a moderate decrease of the carrier mediated Er3+ excitation. A thin SiO2 interlayer was also effective at suppressing the phonon-assisted energy backtransfer at high temperatures, leading to a strong room temperature Er3+-related 1.54 mum emission.
