Mechanisms of Broadband Structural Luminescence of Disordered Wide-gap Dielectrics
摘要
Possible mechanisms of broadband structural luminescence in the transparency band of disordered wide-gap dielectrics were considered theoretically for the case of electronic transitions at deep-lying levels of intrinsic structural defects such as valence-alternation pairs in v-SiO2. It was concluded that the main mechanism was the geminate recombination of carriers at deep-lying levels of valence-alternation pairs. It was shown that accompanying mechanisms could be associated with polaron effects on isolated centers and phenomena on delocalized defect states.
