| Description | Journal: Chinese Physics B $Ge^{+}$ ions are implanted into fused silica glass at room temperature and a fluence of 1 × $10^{17}$ $cm^{−2}$. The as-implanted samples are annealed in $O_{2}$, $N_{2}$ and Ar atmospheres separately. $Ge^{0}$, GeO and $GeO_{2}$ coexist in the as-implanted and annealed samples. Annealing in different atmospheres at 600 °C leads each composite to change its content. After annealing at 1000 °C, there remains some amount of $Ge^{0}$ in the substrates. However, the content of Ge decreases due to out-diffusion. After annealing in $N_{2}$, Si–N composite is formed. The absorption peak of GeO appears at 240 nm after annealing in $O_{2}$ atmosphere, and a new absorption peak occurs at 418 nm after annealing in $N_{2}$ atmosphere, which is attributed to the Si–N composite. There is no absorption peak appearing after annealing in Ar atmosphere. Transmission electron microscopic images confirm the formation of Ge nanoparticles in the as-implanted sample and $GeO_{2}$ nanoparticles in the annealed sample. In the present study, the GeO content and the $GeO_{2}$ content depend on annealing temperature and atmosphere. Three photoluminescence emission band peaks at 290, 385 and 415 nm appear after ion implantation and they become strong with the increase of annealing temperature below 700 °C, and their photoluminescences recover to the values of as-grown samples after annealing at 700 °C. Optical absorption and photoluminescence depend on the annealing temperature and atmosphere. |
