    Abstract

    The structural and luminescence properties of nc-Si in (11̄02) sapphires were analyzed using cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Si crystallite of about 4 to 5 nm diameter were created by implantation with 30-keV Si ions and sunsequent annealing at 1100 °C with extended defects. The anealing temperature and the implant dose strongly affected the luminescence properties of the samples which were compared to O-- and Al--implanted Al 2O3. All the other bands were found to be defect related, with the exception of CL band, that was nanocrystal related.
