摘要: InAs nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix have been fabricated by a radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering technique without postannealing. X-ray photoelectron spectra and Raman spectroscopy strongly suggest the existence of matrix. From optical absorption spectrum, edge exhibits very large blueshift 3.3 eV with respect to that bulk InAs. The double-peak ultraviolet photoluminescence is observed. Our experimental results show this phenomenon originates from radiative recombination quantum-confined electron-heavy hole excitons electron-split-off excitons.
