It is shown that the optical properties of these nanocrystals are well described by the Forouhi–Bloomer interband model. Analysis of the optical measurements over a photon-energy range of 1.5–5 eV shows that the gap of embedded nanocrystals with a mean size of 3.9 nm follows closely quantum confinement theory. A large band gap expansion (0.65 eV) compared to bulk Si is observed. The Monte Carlo simulations reveal a non-abrupt interface and a large fraction of interface oxygen bonds. This, in conjunction with the experimental observations, indicates that oxygen states and the chemical disorder at the interface have a negligible influence on the optical properties of the material in this size regime. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/1823 | ISSN: | 13869477 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.physe.2006.12.020 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | University of Crete | Affiliation: | University of Cyprus University of Crete IMEL/NCSR Demokritos |
