摘要
We use a combination of single nanoparticle luminescence and scanning force microscopy to determine the quantum efficiency (QE) of single porous Si nanoparticles and to determine the ratio of luminescent nanoparticles deposited on a silica surface to the total nanoparticles. An estimate of the QE of bulk porous Si based on these data compares favorably to the QE measured experimentally. From this we conclude that the 1% QE of bulk porous Si measured experimentally results primarily from a statistical distribution of high QE quantum-confined Si chromophores.
