Possible Mechanisms for Photoluminescence in Spark-Processed Si
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Possible mechanisms which may explain the strong blue/violet (410 nm) photoluminescence (PL) in spark-processed Si (sp-Si) are critically reviewed and discussed. They include involvement of silicon-oxides, silicon-hydrides, silanol groups, siloxene, and silicon carbide. It is concluded from the experimental evidence that none of the above mechanisms can satisfactorily explain the major contribution(s) to PL in sp-Si.
