A kind of low-dimensional structure on SiGe alloy film can be formed by laser irradiation (75 W power and 1 064 nm wavelength) and high temperature oxidation
and the low-dimensional structure can emit intense photoluminescence (PL). A emission model of three-level system in the interface between SiO
2
and Ge crystal cluster is proposed for interpreting the PL peaks at 705 nm and 606 nm. The results in this article indicated that the band gap of Ge nanocrystals opens by quantum confinement. The emission energy increases with decreasing sizes
distributing the band PL spectra. A sharp PL emission takes place at 606 nm
which is independent of size. In this process
the photo-excitation occurs in germanium nanocrystal while the photo-emission occurs in oxide interface. It is demonstrated that population inversion between the top state of the valence band and the trap state in the nanocrystal-oxide interlayer is possible.
