Abstract

Provided is a silicon-based blue phosphorescent material having a longer luminescence lifetime, a high luminescence intensity, and excellent long-term stability and reproducibility. A method for producing a silicon-based blue-green phosphorescent material controllable by an excitation wavelength, which comprises a first step of anodizing the surface of silicon to prepare a nanocrystal silicon or a nanostructure silicon, a second step of processing the nanocrystal silicon or the nanostructure silicon prepared in the first step for rapid thermal oxidation, and a third step of processing the nanocrystal silicon or nanostructure silicon having been processed for rapid thermal oxidation in the second step, for high-pressure water vapor annealing. Further, a silicon-based blue-green phosphorescent material controllable by an excitation wavelength, which comprises a silicon oxide film in which numerous nanoscale crystal silicon or nanostructure silicon embedded therein, and which has a transition property between molecular energy levels through triplet excitons having a relaxation time of not shorter than 1 ms, or luminescence transition through quasi-stable excitation or trap having a relaxation time of not shorter than 1 ms.
