摘要: We show that the electronic and optical properties of silicon nanowires, with different size orientation, are dominated by important many-body effects. The excitonic gaps, calculated within first principles, agree available experimental data. Huge effects, which depend strongly on wire orientation size, characterize spectra. Modeling porous as a collection interacting we find an absorption spectrum is in very good agreement measurements only when electron-hole interaction included.
