| Research Abstract |
In order to find new defects which act as single photon sources in Silicon Carbide (SiC), semi-insulating SiC wafers were irradiated with 2 MeV electrons and subsequently annealed in Argon at temperature ranges between 300 and 500 C. As a results, in addition to luminescence from Si vacancies (Vsi) which have been reported as single photon source in SiC, the very strong luminescence at wavelength regions between 670 and 700 nm were observed even at room temperature. By the photo luminescence measurements at low temperature, it was concluded that the origin of those luminescence is positively charged carbon antisite – carbon vacancy pair (CsiVc). Also, it was revealed from antibunching measurements using a confocal microscope that CsiVc act as single photon source in SiC.
