16. To increase the DL emission, the films are annealed in a reducing atmosphere at 800°C. On the other hand, an oxidizing atmosphere at the same temperature reduces DL emissions.
17. The enhancement ratio, which quantifies the enhancement effect, is determined by taking the ratio of the intensities of the band-edge emission at its maximum to the band-edge emission before capping.
