The diffusion of photoexcited carriers in porous silicon strongly affects their recombination dynamics.

Abstract
The diffusion of photoexcited carriers in porous silicon strongly affects their recombination dynamics. This is evidenced by a detailed study of the room temperature time-resolved photoluminescence of porous silicon samples with various porosities. Monte Carlo simulations of the photoexcited carrier diffusion by the trap-controlled hopping mechanism in a disordered array of silicon quantum dots have been performed to elucidate the interplay between on-site recombinations and diffusion of carriers. The numerical results are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental data. © 1995.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
