Abstract

The visible and the infrared photoluminescence bands in porous Si have been studied at low temperature for two series of samples: one in which the size of the crystallites has been varied and another in which the degree of surface degradation has been changed. It is shown that the relation of the two bands can be explored for characterization of the porous Si bandstructure. The size- and the surface dependence of the valence band and of the conduction band related states is discussed. A model is proposed for explanation.
