Abstract

ABSTRACTPicosecond decay dynamics of luminescent porous silicon has been studied using the second harmonics (SH) of a cw modelocked YLF laser and a synchroscan streak camera. Picosecond luminescence decay shows nonexponential behavior that becomes large with decreasing emission energy. When increasing hydrogen termination on the surface of a Si microcrystal occurs, this picosecond luminescence decay becomes faster. Our experimental results indicate that there are two luminescent states in porous Si : a weak luminescent quantum confinement state and a strong luminescent surface localized state.
