The time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) decays are measured for transparent amorphous silica prepared from solid-phase sintering of nanometer-sized silica particles, which has recently been shown to exhibit a unique white PL emission under ultraviolet excitation [T. Uchino and T. Yamada, Appl. Phys. Lett. 85, 1164 (2004)]. Unlike usual PL processes observed in normal silica glass, it is shown that the present PL results from trapping-controlled migration of photoexcited carriers and their radiative recombination.
