Abstract
The photoluminescence of erbium ions in phosphorus-doped a-Si:H films has been investigated. The observed increase in the Er photoluminescen ce with increasing defect density in the samples and the correlation o f the temperature variation of the Er photoluminescence and defect-ass ociated photoluminescence intensities are explained on the basis of a model of excitation of Er ions as a result of Auger recombination with defect participation.
