Abstract
The local environment of Er3+ in heavily Er-doped (Er, 2.5at.%) Si nanoclusters embedded in SiO2 films annealed at various temperatures was investigated by using the fluorescence-extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The results show that annealing caused a large effect on the local environment of Er3+ surrounded by O atoms and the 1.54μm photoluminescence intensity. The correlation between the local environment around Er3+ and the corresponding 1.54μm photoluminescence was discussed.
