Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectra are reported for gas-suspended 1-10 nm diameter SiOx particles formed by laser ablation of Si into 1-10 Torr He and Ar. Three spectral bands (1.8, 2.5 and 3.2 eV) similar to PL from oxidized porous silicon were measured, but with a pronounced vibronic structure. Particle size and composition were determined with Z-contrast transmission electron microscopy imaging and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy linescans of individual nanoparticles. Maximized violet (3.2 eV) PL from the gas-suspended nanoparticles was correlated with an ex situ SiO1.4 overall particle stoichiometry. Cryogenically-collected gas-suspended nanoparticles produced web-like-aggregate films exhibiting very weak FL. Standard anneals restored strong PL bands without vibronic structure, but otherwise in agreement with the PL measured from the gas-suspended nanoparticles. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
