Abstract
A cathodoluminescence band in the green spectral region is observed in silicate matrices when the excitation density exceeds a certain threshold value. This band is due to the formation of silicon nanoclusters 4–5 nm in size and becomes manifest at SiO2/Si interfaces when impurities are introduced into the silicate matrix, as well as under electron-beam irradiation.
