Abstract

Using synchrotron as a tunable excitation source, we have carried out a study on the photoluminescence systematics from a series of porous silicon samples prepared under different conditions, Luminescence spectra were recorded with excitation photon energies tuned to the Si L3,2 absorption edge (∼100 eV). The luminescence yield was in turn used to monitor the Si L3,2-edge absorption characteristics of porous silicon. A trend of luminescence wavelength and intensity as a function of preparation conditions emerges. Other related observations are also noted.
