Improving Passivation Process of Si Nanocrystals Embedded in SiO2 Using Metal Ion Implantation

We studied the photoluminescence (PL) of Si nanocrystals (Si-NCs) embedded in SiO2 obtained by ion implantation at MeV energy. The Si-NCs are formed at high depth (1-2 μm) inside the SiO2 achieving a robust and better protected system. After metal ion implantation (Ag or Au), and a subsequent therma...
