Figure 2From: Nanoscale evidence of erbium clustering in Er-doped silicon-rich silicaAtom probe mass spectrum. APT mass spectrum obtained on Er-doped Si-rich SiO2 sample. (a) Typical mass spectrum with Si, O, and Er identified peaks. Isotopes of silicon for the Si2+ peak are evidenced in the inset. (b) Magnification of the Er peaks in the 52- to 96-M/n region.Back to article page
