摘要: We have measured thermally stimulated luminescence from light-emitting porous silicon that has been x irradiated at room temperature and heated to 400 °C. The glow curve exhibits peaks 103, 155, 219, 271 °C, with additional maxima occurring above Each of the emits similar emission spectra characterized by a band maximum near 720 nm 0.39 eV full width half-maximum. Following irradiation temperature, sample well-known photoluminescence, but after heating 400 °C, loss hydrogen renders nonphotoluminescent. However, can be repeatedly induced. Observation is unambiguous evidence for existence an insulating surface layer on silicon.
