Tunneling recombination luminescence in Na2O · 3SiO2 glass

Photosensitivity of SiO2–Al and SiO2–Na glasses under ArF (193nm) laser

“…5. This, together with decay following a t À1 law [22], is evidence for tunneling recombination between a trapped electron of a modified ODC(II)e À and a nearby hole. As proven in Fig.…”

“…13 unequivocally indicates an over-barrier recombination process (liberation of the charge carriers into energy bands followed by recombination on recombination centers) resulting in an afterglow approaching a power law $t À2 at long times, whereas the decay obtained by irradiation at high temperature followed by quick cooling suggests tunneling recombination weakly dependent on temperature. These processes previously were investigated in detail for sodium silicate glasses in [22]. 11.…”

Luminescence of localized states in silicon dioxide glass. A short review

“…Liberation of one or both charge carriers and recombination on a recombination center leads to a radiative transition. Also tunnelling transitions between traps are possible with some specific parameters [30]. Decay kinetics is regulated by the life time on a trap.…”

Luminescence of localized states in oxidized and fluorinated silica glass

“…7. The correspondence of such kinetics for tunnel processes was established in [17]. The decay kinetics law is similar for excitation with these lasers, despite the large difference in the energy of the corresponding photons: 7.9 eV for the F2 laser and 6.4 eV for the ArF laser.…”
