摘要
It has been shown that the central-cell potential of a phosphorus ion embedded in a silicon nanocrystal effectively mixes the electronic states of X- and Gamma-bands. Quantum confinement strengthens the Gamma-X mixing which, in turn, straightens the nanocrystal's band structure, and substantially intensifies interband radiative recombination.
