The role of microstructure in luminescent properties of Er-doped nanocrystalline Si thin films

In this contribution, we present a structural and photoluminescence (PL) analysis of Er-doped nanocrystalline silicon thin films produced by rf magnetron sputtering method. We show the strong influence of the presence of nanocrystalline fraction in films on their luminescence efficiency at 1.54 micr...
