Abstract
We report photoluminescence (PL) data on amorphous (Formula presented) in the spectral range of the α (4.3 eV), β (3.1 eV), and γ (2.7 eV) emissions excited with synchrotron radiation. Differently prepared and treated samples are compared. Neutron irradiation gives rise to PL features distinct from those observed both in unirradiated Ge-doped silica and in samples with other impurities. Our data suggest that the defect-formation processes determine the different PL patterns observed in (Formula presented) while the usually proposed distinction between Si- and Ge-like centers is not relevant. © 1998 The American Physical Society.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
