Abstract

We discuss the mechanism of red luminescence from surface-oxidized Si nanostructures. The interface state between crystalline Si and SiO2 surface layer plays an essential role in efficient visible luminescence. The crystalline Si nanostructures with a disorder potential of interface states show complicated luminescence properties.
