Understanding the Parameters Affecting the Photoluminescence of Silicon Nanoparticles

Silicon nanoparticles of 1–5 nm size (SiNPs) were synthesized by a bottom-up (BU) approach involving a chemical wet method. The contribution of different emitters to the overall excitation–emission matrix was analyzed on the assumption that pure substances existing in a unique form show an excitatio...
