Cobalt and manganese ions are implanted into SiO$_2$ over a wide range of concentrations. For low concentrations, the Co atoms occupy interstitial locations, coordinated with oxygen, while metallic Co clusters form at higher implantation concentrations. For all concentrations studied here, Mn ions remain in interstitial locations and do not cluster. Using resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy and Anderson impurity model calculations, we determine the strength of the covalent interaction between the interstitial ions and the SiO$_2$ valence band, finding it comparable to Mn and Co monoxides. Further, we find an increasing reduction in the SiO$_2$ electronic band gap for increasing implantation concentration, due primarily to the introduction of Mn- and Co-derived conduction band states. We also observe a strong increase in a band of x-ray stimulated luminescence at 2.75 eV after implantation, attributed to oxygen deficient centers formed during implantation.

Optical photoluminescence studies are performed in self-ion (Ga+)-implanted nominally doped n-GaN nanowires. A 50-keV Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) in the fluence range of 1x1014 -2x10^16 ions cm^-2 is used for the irradiation process. A blueshift is ob
served for the yellow luminescence (YL) band with increasing fluence. Donor-acceptor pair (DAP) model with emission involving shallow donor introduced by point-defect clusters related to nitrogen vacancies and probable deep acceptor created by gallium interstitial clusters is made responsible for the shift. High temperature annealing in nitrogen ambient restores the peak position of YL band by removing nitrogen vacancies.
Highly p-type GaAs:C was ion-implanted with Mn at differing doses to produce Mn concentrations in the 1 - 5 at.% range. In comparison to LT-GaAs and n+GaAs:Si samples implanted under the same conditions, transport and magnetic properties show marked
differences. Transport measurements show anomalies, consistent with observed magnetic properties and with epi- LT-(Ga,Mn)As, as well as the extraordinary Hall Effect up to the observed magnetic ordering temperature (T_C). Mn ion-implanted p+GaAs:C with as-grown carrier concentrations > 10^20 cm^-3 show remanent magnetization up to 280 K.
We fabricated ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 (BiT) single crystalline thin films site-specifically substituted with LaTMO3 (TM = Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, and Ni) on SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser epitaxy. When transition metals are incorporated into a cert
ain site of the BiT, some of BiT-LaTMO3 showed a substantially decreased band gap, coming from the additional optical transition between oxygen 2p and TM 3d states. Specifically, all alloys with Mott insulators revealed a possibility of band gap reduction. Among them, BiT-LaCoO3 showed the largest band gap reduction by ~1 eV, positioning itself as a promising material for highly efficient opto-electronic devices.
Erbium doped low symmetry Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystals attract a lot of attention in perspective of quantum information applications. However, only doping of the samples during growth is available up to now, which yields a quite homogeneous doping density.
In the present work, we deposit Er$^{3+}$-ions by the focused ion beam technique at Yttrium sites with several fluences in one sample. With a photoluminescence study of these locally doped Er$^{3+}$:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystals, we are able to evaluate the efficiency of the implantation process and develop it for the highest efficiency possible. We observe the dependence of the ion activation after the post-implantation annealing on the fluence value.
Modulation photoreflectance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy have been applied to study the electronic- and band-structure evolution in (Ga,Mn)As epitaxial layers with increasing Mn doping in the range of low Mn content, up to 1.2%. Structural and
magnetic properties of the layers were characterized with high-resolution X-ray diffractometry and SQUID magnetometery, respectively. The revealed results of decrease in the band-gap transition energy with increasing Mn content in very low-doped (Ga,Mn)As layers with n-type conductivity are interpreted as a result of merging the Mn-related impurity band with the host GaAs valence band. On the other hand, an increase in the band-gap-transition energy with increasing Mn content in (Ga,Mn)As layers with higher Mn content and p-type conductivity indicates the Moss-Burstein shift of the absorption edge due to the Fermi level location within the valence band, determined by the free-hole concentration. The experimental results are consistent with the valence-band origin of mobile holes mediated ferromagnetic ordering in the (Ga,Mn)As diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor.
