Plasmonic Enhancement of the Photoluminescence in Hybrid Structures with SiGe Quantum Dots and Ag Nanoislands

Аннотация

Plasmonic enhancement of the photoluminescence in hybrid structures with SiGe quantum dots and Ag nanoislands was found. Ag nanoislands grown on the top of the multilayer structures with SiGe quantum dots (QDs) support a surface plasmon resonance that can be tuned to the QD emission wavelength by changing of Ag nanoparticle parameters. Photoluminescence measurements of the hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructures revealed a fourfold increase of the integral intensity of SiGe QD emission in the spectral range from 0.8 to 1 eV.
