| Abstract: | We have investigated photoluminescence (PL) from Si-based anodic porous alumina films formed by real-time controlled anodization
of electron-beam evaporated Al films. As-anodized samples show three strong PL bands at 295, 340, and 395 nm. These bands
blueshift and their intensities decrease after the samples are annealed. When the annealing temperature increases to 1000 °C,
the blueshift becomes specially pronounced and meanwhile the structures of the films develop toward crystalline Al2O3. Based on discussions on the thermal annealing behaviors of the PL and PL excitation spectra, we suggest that optical transitions
in oxygen-related defects, F+ (oxygen vacancy with one electron) centers, are responsible for the observed ultraviolet and violet PL.
