The photoluminescence (PL) and microstructural properties of thin films are investigated. The samples exhibit strong PL in the wavelength range of 400-470 nm and relatively weak PL peaks at 730 and 780 nm at room temperature. Blue shift is found for the 400-nm PL peak, and the intensity increases initially and then decreases with the increase of Ge-doping dose. We propose that the 400-470 nm PL band originates from multiple luminescence centers, and the 730- and 780-nm PL peaks are ascribed to the Si=O and GeO luminescence centers.展开更多
