Si nanocrystals in thermal oxide films (similar to 250 nm) were fabricated by 100 keV Si ion implantation followed by high temperature annealing. Two different doses were compared after annealing at 1050 degrees C for 2 h. A sample implanted with a dose of 1 x 10(17) cm(-2) shows a broad photo luminescence peak centered around 880 nm after annealing. A dose of 5 x 10(16) cm(-2) yields a considerable blue shift of about 100 nm relative to the higher dose as well as a reduction in intensity. Transmission electron microscopy study reveals a difference in the microstructure of the SiO2 films. Nanocrystals are clearly identified in the middle of the film for the highest dose, but not for the lower dose. The difference is discussed in terms of concentration dependent nucleation rate and differences in defect concentration. It is argued that the latter effect has a strong effect on the depth distribution of nanocrystals. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Luminescence from silicon nanoparticles in SiO2: atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies Mayandi, J.; Finstad, T. G.; Foss, S.; Thogersen, A.; Serincan, U.; Turan, Raşit (IOP Publishing, 2006-09-01) Si nanocrystals in thermal oxide films ( similar to 250 nm) were fabricated by 100 keV Si ion implantation at various doses followed by high temperature annealing. After annealing a sample implanted with a dose of 1 x 10(17) cm(-2) at 1050 degrees C for 2 h, a broad photoluminescence peak centred around 880 nm was observed. A dose of 5 x 10(16) cm(-2) yields a considerable blue shift of about 100 nm relative to the higher dose. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to c...
BIOACTIVITY OF APATITE-WOLLASTONITE GLASS-CERAMICS PRODUCED BY MELTING CASTING PARK, JONGEE; Öztürk, Abdullah (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2013-02-01) Glass-ceramics containing only apatite and wollastonite crystals were produced in the system MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-F by the melt casting process. The bioactivity of the glass-ceramics was determined by immersing the glass-ceramics in a simulated body fluid (SBF) and by assessing the resulting apatite formation on the free surface after various immersion durations. A 12-mu m-thick apatite layer formed on the surface of the glass-ceramic containing only apatite crystals after 20 days immersion in SBF. However, th...
XPS analysis with external bias: a simple method for probing differential charging Ertaş, Gülay (Wiley, 2004-07-01) The XPS spectra of thermally grown oxide layers on Si, Al, W and Hf substrates have been recorded while the samples were subjected to external d.c. voltage bias. The bias induces additional shifts in the measured binding energy differences between the XPS peaks of the oxide and that of the metal substrate in Si and Al (as probed both in the 2p and the KLL Auger regions), but not in W and Hf (as probed in the 4f region). These bias induced shifts are attributed to differential charging between the oxide laye...
INVESTIGATION OF CONDUCTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS OF Zn-In-Se THIN FILMS Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2020-01-01) Zn-In-Se thin films were fabricated on the ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates masked with clover-shaped geometry by thermal evaporation of its elemental sources. Temperature-dependent conductivity characteristics of the films were investigated under dark and illuminated conditions. The semiconductor type of the films was found as n-type by thermal probe test. According to the van der Pauw technique, the dark electrical conductivity analyses showed that the variations of conductivity of unannealed and a...
Effect of heat treatment on the stress and structure evolution of plasma deposited boron nitride thin films Anutgan, T. Aliyeva; Anutgan, M.; Wdemir, O.; Atilgan, I.; Katircioglu, B. (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-25) Boron nitride (BN) thin films are deposited at 573 K by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen diluted diborane (15% B2H6 in H-2) source gases. UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies together with surface profilometry are used for the film characterization. These films are hydrogenated (BN:H) whose hydrogen content is pursued following the 1.5 h annealing process at 748 K, 923 K and 1073 K under nitrogen atmosphere. Hydrogen escape with the...
