in the range of annealing temperatures used. The PL intensity, weight of the Si4+ states, and the volume fraction of Si nanocrystals exhibit a large increase as Ta>750 °C. The PL peak position is independent of the annealing temperature (Ta). From our observations, the green/blue light emission is related to the defects.
