AbstractDangling bond defects in Si1−xGex alloy nanocrystals (nc-Si1−xGex) as small as 4 nm in diameter embedded in SiO2 thin films were studied by electron spin resonance (ESR), and the effects of the defects on photoluminescence (PL) properties were discussed. It was found that the ESR spectrum is a superposition of signals from Si and Ge dangling bonds at the interfaces between nc-Si1−xGex and SiO2 matrices (Si and Ge Pb centers). As Ge concentration increased, the intensity of the signal from the Ge Pb centers increased, while that from the Si Pb centers was almost independent of Ge concentration. The increase in the number of Ge Pb centers was accompanied by strong quenching of the PL. The observed correlation between the two measurements suggests that Ge Pb centers act as efficient non-radiative recombination centers for photogenerated carriers, resulting in the quenching of the PL.

ABSTRACTInteraction of oxygen with three commercial activated carbons (GX203, P1400 and MEED50 supplied by PICA USA Inc., with BET surface areas of 1000, 1150 and 2000 m2/g respectively) is investigated using 9 GHz electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. All three carbons give a single ESR line with g = 2.0028(3), but the linewidth ΔH and the spin concentration Ns, are strongly affected by exposure to oxygen. The ESR parameters (g, ΔH, Ns) are measured for different partial pressures of oxygen. For the highly evacuated samples, δH ≃ 1.2 Oe and Ns ≃ 1019/gm and these results are interpreted in terms of uncompensated surface dangling bonds. Oxygen exposure broadens the line and reduces Ns, in direct relation to the surface areas of the carbons and the effect is reversible. Possible effects of the paramagnetic oxygen on dangling bonds are discussed.
