AbstractIn the present work, a quantitative understanding of the Er-doped Si nanocrystals interaction is reported. We present a model based on an energy level scheme taking into account the coupling between each Si nanocrystal and the neighboring Er ions. By fitting the steady state and time resolved luminescence signals at both the 1.54 and 0.98 μm Er lines we were able to determine a value of 3×10-15 cm3 s-1 for the coupling coefficient. Moreover, a strong cooperative up-conversion mechanism, active between two excited Er ions and characterized by a coefficient of 7×10-17 cm3 s-1, will be shown to be active in the system, demonstrating that each Si nanocrystal can actually excite more than one Er ion.

AbstractA successful observation and analysis of the Zeeman effect on the near 1.54 μm photoluminescence spectrum in Er-doped crystalline MBE-grown silicon are reported. A clearly resolved splitting of 5 major spectral components was observed in magnetic fields up to 5.5 T. Based on the analysis of the data the symmetry of the dominant optically active center was conclusively established as orthorhombic I (C2v), with g‼≈18.4 and g⊥≈0 in the ground state. The fact that g⊥≈0 explains why EPR detection of Er-related optically active centers in silicon may be difficult. Preferential generation of a single type of an optically active Er-related center in MBE growth confirmed in this study is essential for photonic applications of Si:Er.
