Erbium-doped silicon nanocrystals grown by r.f. sputtering method: Competition between oxygen and silicon to get erbium

Erbium doped micro- and nanocrystalline silicon thin films have been deposited by co-sputtering of Er and Si. Films with different crystallinity, crystallite size, hydrogen and oxygen content have been obtained in order to investigate the effect of the microstructure and composition of matrix on the...
