摘要
A striking correlation between infrared photoinduced absorption spectra and the photoluminescence from silicon nanocrystals indicates that quantized electronic sublevels of the nanocrystals are resonantly coupled to surface vibrational modes via a polarization field produced by coherent longitudinal polar vibrations. Our experimental results and model support the assumption that the mechanism responsible for the efficient photoluminescence from silicon nanocrystals should be assigned to inhibition of nonradiative channels rather than enhancement of radiative channels.
