摘要
The mechanism of the electroluminescence of erbium under a reverse bias in structures based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon is studied. Erbium ions are excited through an Auger process, in which conduction electrons are trapped by neutral dangling bonds (D-0 centers) located near the erbium ions. A stationary current through the structure is sustained by a reverse process involving the thermally stimulated tunneling emission of electrons by negatively charged dangling-bond defects (D- centers) into the conduction band of the amorphous matrix.
