Abstract
The results of calculating the lifetimes of direct electron and hole tunneling and of nonradiative exciton transport between Si nanocrystals are presented. It is shown that tunnel transitions dominate in the process of the energy exchange between quantum dots and can considerably affect radiation in the ensemble of Si nanocrystals.
