Abstract

Abstract We report on a scaleable synthesis route for highly luminescent silicon nanocrystal assemblies and demonstrate that their emission properties are identical to those known for other systems containing silicon nanocrystals. Structural investigations confirmed that chemically porosified metallurgical grade silicon powder consists of silicon nanocrystal assemblies having nanometer sizes characterized by very high total internal surface area.
