摘要
Boron-doped Si nanocrystals as small as 3.5 nm were prepared and their photoluminescence (PL) properties were studied. The PL properties were found to be very sensitive to the B concentration. For the sample without B doping the temperature-dependent shift of the PL peak was almost the same as that of the bulk band gap. As the B concentration increased, the temperature dependence deviated from that of the bulk band gap, and the peak exhibited a low-energy shift as the temperature decreased. The anomalous temperature dependence is considered to be due to the contribution of the PL from excitons bound to the neutral B states. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
