    Optical and structural properties of GaSb nanocrystals fabricated by co-implantation of Ga and Sb ions in single crystalline Si (100), followed by thermal treatment are investigated. In the first group of samples named Si / GaSb the implantation of Ga ions was followed by Sb implantation, whereas in the second group of samples named Si / SbGa with increased by factor 1.4 ion fluence the order of implantation was inverted. The presence of nanocrystals in both kinds of samples was proved by TEM and RS experiments. Low-temperature PL measurements show a PL broad band in the region at 0.75-1.1 eV for Si / SbGa samples annealed at 900 °C. No PL was observed in the Si/SbGa samples after annealing at 1100 °C.

    We have studied the ion-beam synthesis of InAs and GaSb nanocrystals in Si by high-fluence implantation of (As+In) and (Ga+Sb) ions followed a thermal annealing. In order to characterize the implanted samples Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in combination with the channelling (RBS/C), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectrometry (RS) and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) techniques were employed. It was demonstrated that by introducing getter, varying the ion implantation temperature, ion fluences and post-implantation annealing duration and temperature it is possible to form InAs and GaSb nanocrystals in the range of sizes of (2 – 80) nm and create different types of secondary defects distribution. RS results confirm the crystalline state of the clusters in the silicon matrix after high-fluence implantation of heavy (As+In) and (Ga+Sb) ions. Significant redistribution of implanted species has been revealed after “hot” implantation and post-implantation annealing. We have suggested that it is caused by non-equilibrium diffusion. A broad band in the spectral region of 0.7 – 1.1 eV is detected in the photoluminescence spectra of the samples. The nature of this PL band is discussed.We have studied the ion-beam synthesis of InAs and GaSb nanocrystals in Si by high-fluence implantation of (As+In) and (Ga+Sb) ions followed a thermal annealing.
