摘要
Photoluminescence (PL) of Er and Ge co-doped ZnO films synthesized by radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that the annealing process at 400-800 degrees C led to the formation of nanocrystal (nc) Ge. Samples containing nc-Ge showed a strong visible PL with a peak at 582-593 nm, which was consistent with the calculated energy of the exciton of the similar to 5 nm-sized nc-Ge, according to the quantum confinement effect. The formation of nc-Ge could greatly enhance the 1.54 m emission, and it is considered that the 1.54 m PL enhancement may come from a joint effect of both the energy transfer from nc-Ge to Er3+ and the local environment change of Er3+.
