Abstract
The effect of phosphorus impurities on the electronic structure of silicon single crystals and SiO2: Si nanocomposites is studied. The SiO2: Si structures with phosphorus impurities that are annealed over 2 h at a temperature of 1000°C exhibit an increase in the photoluminescence peak related to Si nanocrystals. The experimentally determined densities of states in the valence and conduction bands of SiO2: Si composites are in good agreement with the local electronic structure in the vicinity of silicon impurities that is calculated within the approximation of linear muffin-tin orbitals.
