Popis: Light emissions of porous silicon were studied by photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopies (PLE). The results suggest the existence of midgap localized states and provide strong evidence of lattice relaxation effect. Visible light emission may be due to the electron transition between the modified conduction band and the surface related localized states with the participation of phonon emissions. The stokes shift between peaks of photoemission and photoexcitation spectra is about 1.2 eV and varies with different preparation and later treatment conditions of the samples.
