The employed doses of Ge ion were 5 x 10(15), 1 x 10(16), 5 x 10(16), and 1 x 10(17) cm(-2). Maximum intensity of sharp violet photoluminescence (PL) from the sample implanted at room temperature with a dose of 1 x 10(16) cm(-2) is observed after the sample has been annealed at 500 degrees C for 2 h. Broad orange luminescence is also shown in hot-implanted samples besides the violet. Both are known as defect-related luminescences. As observed by current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, the defect-related samples exhibit large leakage currents with electoluminescence (EL) at only reverse bias region while a nanocrystal-related sample obtained by an annealing at 1100 degrees C for 4 h shows the leakages at both the reverse and the forward region. The carrier-transport and EL mechanisms are explained from the PL and I-V results. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
