Abstract

High resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed luminescent anodized hydrogenated silicon to be porous on a 3 5 nm scale and still fully amorphous, in contrast with the nanocrystalline character of anodized c-Si wafers processed and observed under similar conditions. These experimental findings strengthened our claim that crystallinity is not a requirement for visible photoluminescence to occur at room-temperature in silicon-based nanostructures.
