Popis: | Experimental evidences are presented for the first time that singlet oxygen generated ex situ acts as an inhibitor of nonradiative recombination in porous silicon (PSi). This effect is observed on a pristine PSi as well as on degraded porous layers quenched by ozone adsorption. A photoluminescence (PL) enhancement produced by singlet oxygen is accompanied with only slight oxidation of a PSi. We assume that the observed effect on PL efficiency is due to gentle selective oxidation of single defects on silicon nanocrystal surface. |
