AbstractWe studied the optical and electronic properties of silicon nanocrystals derived from two distinct fabrication procedures. One technique uses a controlled chemical reaction. In the other case, silicon nanocrystals are produced by ultrasonic fracturing of porous silicon layers. We report on the photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and absorption spectroscopy of various size distributions derived from these techniques. We compare the different optical properties of silicon nanocrystals made this way and contrast them with that observed in porous silicon. Our results emphasize the dominant role of surface states in these systems as manifested by the different surface passivation layers present in these different fabrication techniques. Experimental absorption measurements are compared to theoretical calculations with good agreement. Our results provide compelling evidence for quantum confinement in both types of Si nanocrystals. Our results also indicate that the blue emission from very small Si nanocrystals corresponds to the bandedge emission, while the red emission arises from traps.

Photoluminescence of porous silicon (PS) prepared by different etched time was studied. The photoluminescence might originate from the recombination of carriers and surface states, which was proved by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and SEM. Furthermore, the hydrogen-related groups on the PS surface could eliminate the surface states for the blue emission, but the quantities of surface states for the green emission were depended on the uncovered area on the PS surface. Moreover, the shape of photoconductivity curve was depended on the quantities of the surface states, which also was related to the uncovered area on the PS surface. In addition, the results of the microwave-detected photoconductivity decay measurement indicated thatthe defects on the PS surface increased with the increase of the etched time, which would be related to the increase of the depth of pores.

We report new instrumentation for rapidly and reliably measuring the temperature-dependent photoluminescence response from porous silicon as a function of analyte vapor concentration. The new system maintains the porous silicon under inert conditions and it allows on-the-fly steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence intensity and hyper-spectral measurements between 293 K and 450 K. The new system yields reliable data at least 100-fold faster in comparison to previous instrument platforms.

ABSTRACTTime-resolved studies of the visible photoluminescence in porous silicon with three different coverages of the internal surface are reported. We use aged, naturally oxidized porous Si (oxihydride), rapid thermal processed material (oxide) and samples stored in HF (pure hydride). A new, fast luminescence band in the blue-green spectral range and with response time less than 100 ns is observed at room temperature in each of the samples, although with different intensities. The observations prove that this is not an oxide-defect luminescence. We speculate on mechanisms for the origin of the fast luminescence in nanometer-size crystallites of Si.

ABSTRACTMg doped cubic GaN layers were studied by steady state and time resolved photoluminescence. The blue emission due to Mg doping can be decomposed in three bands. The decay curves and the spectral shift with time delays indicates donor-acceptor pair behaviour. This can be confirmed by excitation density dependent measurements. Furthermore temperature dependent analysis shows that the three emissions have one impurity in common. We propose that this is an acceptor level related to the Mg incorporation and the three deep donor levels are due to compensation effects.
