Abstract

The optical properties of amorphous and crystalline silicon nanoparticles are studied. By tuning the power of the non-thermal plasma reactor, the structure of the particles is adjusted from amorphous to crystalline nanoparticles. The microstructure is studied using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman vibrational spectroscopy. The photoluminescence quantum yields of crystalline nanoparticle samples are consistently higher than those of amorphous nanoparticles.
