Abstract
Based on the quantum confinement-luminescence center model, we focus on the relationship between the photoluminescence (PL) spectra and sizes of nanoscale silicon particles.We find that when there are two kinds of luminescence centers (LC) in the oxide layer surrounding the silicon particles, both the integrated PL intensity and the spectral peak position swing with reducing the sizes of silicon particles, which is different from the monotonous blueshift of peak position predicted by quantum confinement model. By changing the concentrations of LC we find the correlation between the spectral peak position and the integrated PL intensity when the size of silicon particles is reduced. The effects of other parameters such as the half width of size distribution and the position of photon emission levels of LC are also found to be important.
