title = "The electrical transport and photoluminescence mechanisms in ensembles of silicon quantum dots",
abstract = "The understanding of the electrical conduction and the optical luminescence mechanisms in ensembles of Si quantum dots that are embedded in a dielectric matrix is, in spite of the wide interest in the physics of Si nanostructures in the last two decades, still at a rudimentary level. In our work we tried to evaluate these mechanisms by deriving a self consistent and comprehensive framework for the discussion of the above properties and the relation between them. This trial, to be reported here, was enabled by finding, in detail, the dependencies of the structural, the transport, the optical and the charge storage properties, on the density of the Si quantum dots, and interpreting these dependencies in terms of quantum confinement, Coulomb blockade and percolation cluster statistics.",
