Abstract

We review recent results concerning the structural properties and the origin of visible luminescence in porous silicon. The preparation of porous silicon is briefly described and current models for radiative recombination in porous Si are discussed. Special attention is given to a comparison between the properties of porous Si and those of siloxene and amorphous Si:O:H alloys, based on vibrational, optical, and spin resonance spectroscopy.
