Abstract:The research on silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) has been considerably attractive for the scientist in the last decades due to the SiNCs' significant size-dependent optical properties, and their potential for stimulated emission (Pavesi et al. 2000). The bright photoluminescence (PL) properties of SiNCs is mainly observed in visible regions of the spectrum (Wolkin et al. 1999). On the other hand, blue-luminescent SiNCs would provide a decrease in free carrier absorption and an increase in the stimulated emission (… Show more
