Figure 4.36: FTIR spectra of as-grown SRSO/SRSN MLs grown by reactive approach<br />

as a function of SRSN sublayer thickness.<br />

in the <strong>Si</strong>-N peak intensities with respect to those of <strong>Si</strong>-O ones (peak positions are<br />

marked in the upper axis of Fig. 4.36). <strong>Si</strong>milar trend is observed for SRSO/SRSN<br />

MLs with SRSN grown by the co-sputtering method on varying the sublayer thicknesses.<br />

The eect on the emission behaviour of STA SRSO/SRSN by varying t SRSN is<br />

shown in gure 4.37.<br />

Figure 4.37: PL spectra and the peak positions of STA (1min-1000°C) SRSO/SRSN<br />

ML with varying t SRSN grown by reactive sputtering approach. Table indicates the peak<br />

positions obtained after gaussian curve tting on each of the PL spectra.<br />

The PL intensity shows a non monotonous trend with increasing SRSN sublayer<br />

thickness. The intensity increases with increasing t SRSN , reaching the highest at 8<br />

nm and <strong>de</strong>creases for t SRSN =10 nm. The table reports the values of the three peak<br />

maxima in all the samples un<strong>de</strong>r investigation. The results of gaussian curve tting<br />
