Temperature dependence and annealing effects of absorption edges for selenium quantum dots formed by ion implantation in silica glass
- Fisk Univ., Nashville, TN (United States); and others
The authors have fabricated Se nanoparticles in silica substrates by ion implantation followed by thermal annealing up to 1000 C, and studied the Se nanoparticle formation by optical absorption spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The sample with the highest dose (1 {times} 10{sup 17} ions/cm{sup 2}) showed the nanoparticle formation during the ion implantation, while the lower dose samples (1 and 3 {times} 10{sup 16} ions/cm{sup 2}) required thermal treatment to obtain nano-sized particles. The Se nanoparticles in silica were found to be amorphous. After thermal annealing, the particle doses approached the value of bulk after thermal annealing. The temperature dependent absorption spectra were also measured for this system in a temperature range from 15 to 300 K.
