Visible and 1.54 mu m Emission From Amorphous Silicon Nitride Films by Reactive Cosputtering
Yerci, Selçuk; Kucheyev, Sergei O.; VAN BUUREN, Tony; Basu, Soumendra N.; Dal Negro, Luca (2010-01-01)
In this paper, we present our main results on the structural and optical properties of light-emitting amorphous silicon nitride (SiN(x)) films fabricated by reactive magnetron cosputtering. In particular, we discuss the origin of the visible emission in amorphous silicon nitride films and investigate the optical emission properties of Erbium-doped amorphous silicon nitride (Er:SiN(x)). The mechanisms of Er excitation and de-excitation in Er:SiN(x) are discussed in relation to the engineering of efficient li...

Olaosebikan, Debo; Lipson, Michal; Yerci, Selçuk; Negro, Luca Dal (2011-12-01)
We report on the characterization of neodymium doped silicon rich nitride resonators at 1550nm. We demonstrate the feasibility of use in photonic circuits and demonstrate ring resonators with quality factors of > 5,000.
Molecular dynamics study of random and ordered metals and metal alloys
Kart, Hasan Hüseyin; Tomak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2004)
The solid, liquid, and solidification properties of Pd, Ag pure metals and especially PdxAg1-x alloys are studied by using the molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of temperature and concentration on the physical properties of PdxÞAg1-x are analyzed. Sutton-Chen (SC) and Quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) many-body potentials are used as interatomic interactions which enable one to investigate the thermodynamic, static, and dynamical properties of transition metals. The simulation results such as cohesive ene...
Energy transfer and 1.54 mu m emission in amorphous silicon nitride films
Yerci, Selçuk; Kucheyev, S. O.; VAN BUUREN, TONY; Basu, S. N.; Dal Negro, L. (2009-07-20)
Er-doped amorphous silicon nitride films with various Si concentrations (Er:SiNx) were fabricated by reactive magnetron cosputtering followed by thermal annealing. The effects of Si concentrations and annealing temperatures were investigated in relation to Er emission and excitation processes. Efficient excitation of Er ions was demonstrated within a broad energy spectrum and attributed to disorder-induced localized transitions in amorphous Er:SiNx. A systematic optimization of the 1.54 mu m emission was pe...
Effective mass and peculiarity of optical properties of Cadmium Sulfide nanoparticles
Muradov, M. B.; Eyvazova, G. M.; Turan, Raşit; Maharramov, A. M. (2008-12-01)
X-ray diffraction data, electron microscope and optical properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were analyzed. It is shown that the value of the reduced effective mass of charge carriers in nanoparticles differs from bulk crystals. Changes of effective mass and "red shift" in values of band gap are explained by the occurrence of additional electronic potential in nanoparticles.
