The effect of packing density on luminescence of amorphous SiO2 nanoparticles

Аннотация

Photoluminescence of amorphous SiO2 nanoparticles compressed in the form of tablets is studied under exposure to UV radiation. The observed luminescence spectrum is a broad band extending from the excitation wavelength to 700 nm and with a maximum at ~470 nm. The spectrum can be decomposed into two Gaussian components with maxima at ~460 and ~530 nm. As the pressure applied for sample preparation increases, the integrated intensities of these bands change in opposite directions—the intensity of the short-wavelength band increases, while that of the long-wavelength band decreases. It is concluded that these bands are due to different luminescence centers of silicon dioxide located on the surface and in the bulk of SiO2 nanoparticles.
