Abstract

We have prepared silicon nanocolloids by trapping silicon nanocrystallites produced by a gas evaporation method into an organic liquid. Blue photoluminescence (PL) at a peak maximum around 480 nm from silicon nanocolloids has been observed at room temperature. The external quantum efficiency of blue PL is 0.16 %. A room temperature UV PL has been observed by dropping alkaline solids such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) into silicon nanocolloids. The mechanism of blue and UV PL from silicon nanocolloids is discussed.
