  • Abstract
    Evaporated films of SiO:Er on silicon substrates are shown to exhibit strong photoluminescence after annealing at 600/spl deg/C for 30 min in argon. With an erbium concentration of /spl sim/2.7/spl times/10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/, the /sup 4/I/sub 13/2/-/sup 4/I/sub 15/2/ transition is found to decay with two exponential components.
