Introduction • The scientists of the Mobil Oil company firstly synthesized M41S-type meso-porous materials, such as MCM-41and MCM-48 in 1992. (MCM:Mobil Composition of Matter n.)
The simulate synthesis process of MCM-41 MCM-41 has hexagonal arrangement of unidirectional pores with very narrow pore size distribution, which can be systematically varied in size from approximately ~20 to 200Å. http://terra.cm.kyushuu.ac.jp/lab/ research/nano/Quantum.html

Introduction • There have been few reports on the optical properties of MCM-41 and MCM-48. • The optical properties are not only offer a convenient way to clarify the structural defects, but also provide useful information for extending their applications to optical devices.
Experiment • The photoluminescence (PL) spectra were taken by using a focused Ar+ laser (488nm) and He-Cd laser (325nm) at room temperature. • The Time-resolved Photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra were measured with temperature dependence and using a solid-state laser (396 nm) with a pulse duration 50 ps as the excitation source. • The MCM-41 and MCM-48 samples were subjected to rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 200 ℃,400℃,600℃,800℃ in N2 gas atmosphere for 30 sec, respectively.

The hydrogen-bonded silanol groups are dehydroxylated due to water removing and form siloxane bonds and single silanol groups. The dehydroxylation of hydrogen-bonded silanol groups take place to form single silanol groups, leading to the generation of NBOHCs and the increase of the PL intensity of MCM-41 and MCM-48 simultaneously.
(strain siloxane bridge) As TRTA increases further (TRTA> 400 oC), the single silanol groups with longer distance can then be dehydroxylated and give rise to the formation of the strained siloxane bridges. • Strained siloxane bridge has been demonstrated to create NBOHCs and surface E’ centers (i.e.,≡Si•) • We suggest that the 2.16-eV PL origins from the NBOHCs associated with the strained siloxane bridges. • [ D.

Result and Discussion Y. Kanemitsuattributed the active energy Ea to the phonon-relatedprocesses in the inhomogeneous surface of the oxidize Si nanocrystals. For nonradiative recombination process, they suggested that the carriers undergo the phonon-assisted tunneling from the radiative recombination centers to the nonradiative centers Y. Kanemitsu, Phys. Rev. B 53, 13515 (1996)
Result and Discussion The variation of the luminescence intensity with temperature of the MCM-41.
At low temperatures: only phonon emission At high temperatures: phonon absorption become dominant The phonon-assisted transition dominates the recombination process at high temperatures, and the time constant of PL decay and the PL intensity decreases. The PL intensity reaches the maximum value at 40 K, implies that the radiative transition is pronounced and fast enough to overcome the nonradiative escape due to the small activation energy in radiative transition (Δ). Result and Discussion
Conclusion Two PL bands were observed at around 1.9 eV and 2.15 eV ,which can be explained by the surface chemistry in MCM-41 and MCM-48. The around 1.9 eV is assigned to the NBOHCs and the around 2.15 eV is related to the NBOHCs associated with the strained siloxance bridges. The PL intensity can be enhanced by the RTA treatment. We suggest the PL degradation origins from the recombination of O2-and NBOHC. Published in Solid State Comm. 122, 65 (2002) Micrpor. Mespor. Mater. 64, 135 (2003)
The blue-green PL in MCM-41 and MCM-48 were attributed to the twofold-coordinated silicon centers, which emit luminescence by the triplet-to-singlet transition. The PL intensity can be enhanced by the RTA treatment with increased the concentration of the surface E’ center. We consider the PL decay dynamics with temperature dependence by TRPL measurement and depict that the nonradiative process, which is associated with the phonon-assisted transition, dominates the recombination mechanism at high temperatures.
