摘要: Using photon-in photon-out soft x-ray spectroscopy, the electronic structure of silicon nanoclusters embedded in an electrically insulating SiO2 host matrix is investigated as a function nanocluster size. We find to be core-shell with crystalline Si core and thin transition layer suboxide. Effects quantum confinement are detected cores. that influence confined excitonic states manifests itself predominantly unoccupied states.
