Abstract
The coupled confinement effects on the photoluminescence (PL) and electrical transport in porous silicon were discussed. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used for the microstructural investigations. It was found that the coloumnar pores at the microscopic scale consist of silicon crystallites and the walls between the pores contains a nanostructure. The PL results confirmed the quantum confinement effects at the nanoscale.
