We have investigated visible photoluminescence excited by Ar-ion laser (488 nm, 2.54 eV) at room temperature from Si+-implanted silica glass, as-implanted and after subsequent annealing in vacuum. We found two visible luminescence bands: one peaked around 2.0 eV, observed in as-implanted specimens and annealed completely after heating to about 600 °C, the other peaked around 1.7 eV observed only after heating to about 1100 °C, the temperature at which Si segregates from SiOx. It was found that the 2.0 eV band anneals parallel to the E
centers, as detected by electron spin resonance studies. It was also found that Raman lines around 520 cm−1, due to Si—Si bonds, grow and that interference patterns are induced by annealing Si+-implanted silica glass. Based on these studies, we ascribe the 2.0 eV band to the electron-hole recombination in Si-rich SiO2 and the 1.7 eV band to the electron-hole recombination in the interface between the Si nanocrystal and the SiO2 formed by segregation of crystalline Si from SiOx.
