Beskrivning:We present an improved model for photoluminescence (PL) in nanocrystalline silicon based on LogNormal size distributions of quantum wires (QWs) and quantum dots (QDs). The model predicts four spectral components: band-to-band and localized-to-band recombinations in both QWs and QDs. This approach also captures the influence of oxide-related surface states. Experimental validation with porous silicon films, using Fourier-transform infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy, confirms the presence of oxide bands and supports the predicted PL contributions. The model provides a consistent framework for interpreting PL spectra and extracting nanostructure size distributions in silicon photonics.
