Abstract
Photoluminescence is used to study the effect of the granule size in porous silicon on the generation efficiency of the excited state of molecular oxygen (1O2) on the surface of silicon nanocrystals. The generation efficiency is found to increase as the granule size becomes smaller than 100 nm, which can be explained by a change in the conditions of exciton diffusion along a network of silicon nanocrystals.
