A 0.65-0.70eV luminescence peak in a-Si: H films after illumination is reported. It is found that exposure to light decreases total integrated intensity of luminescence and also produces two luminescence peaks, one is in the range 0.80-0.90eV, and the other is in 0.65-0.70eV. The former disapears by annealing at 190°C, but the latter can not be removed. Similar luminescence peaks are observed in a-Si: H films prepared under higher RF power without illumination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
