ABSTRACT
The electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence of Si nanocrystals (Si-nc) from multilayered samples of Si/SiO are investigated. Si-nc are formed within Si and SiO layers after furnace annealing. It is found that the presence of Si interlayers creates extra carrier paths for EL emission. A comparative study is further performed on a multilayered Si/SiO sample and a single-layered one with Si and SiO homogeneously mixed. Both samples have the same ratio of Si to O and the same contents of Si and O. The multilayered sample is found to have higher EL intensity, less turn-on voltage, lower resistance, and higher current efficiency than the single-layered one. The results indicate that Si interlayers in Si/SiO may act as carrier channels, which promote carrier transport and enhance the EL emission of Si-nc.
ABSTRACT
The measurement of optical absorption spectrum in visible light range of a novel organic material Zn-tetrabenzoporphincrotonic acid/phenoxy resin (ZnTBP/CA/PhR) is reported in this paper. The nonlinear absorption property of the sample illuminated by lasers with different wavelengths was studied. And the absorption alteration and kinetic process of the major spectrum bands were observed. The saturation absorption (SA) and reverse saturation absorption (RSA) appeared as the input fluence increased, and re-reverse saturation absorption process of the material was demonstrated in the experiment. These properties occurred in a broad range of visible spectrum. The paper qualitatively analyses the physical mechanism during the whole course. Based on the nonlinear absorption characteristics, we showed some applications in photonics field of ZnTBP/CA/PhR.
