Abstract

It is found that irradiation of SiO2 layers containing Si nanocrystals with high-energy heavy ions induces profound structural modifications-specifically, the formation of vertically ordered arrays of nanocrystals along the ion tracks. This effect results in substantial changes in the electrical properties (the conductivity and capacitance-voltage characteristics) and optical (photoluminescence) properties of the layers containing nanocrystals.
