摘要
The enhancement of oscillator strength of silicon quantum dots (small crystallites) by the image charge and the excitonic electron-hole attraction is examined theoretically using a simple effective-mass model. While the distortion of the envelope function is found to be significant for the dot with a radius greater than 1 nm, the enhancement of the oscillator strength is significant only when the doe radius is smaller than 1 nm.
