We report the synthesis of silicon nanocrystals grown in silicon oxide matrix by swift heavy ion irradiation. Thin films of silicon oxide (SiO x ) are irradiated with 150 MeV silver ions at fluence varying from 5 • 10 11 to 1 • 10 13 ions/ cm 2 . The variation in the properties of silicon nanocrysta
