Abstract

We present a summary of a comprehensive study of transport, phototransport, surface photovoltage spectroscopy and luminescence of self-standing films of mesoporous and nanoporous silicon. We conclude that the visible luminescence arises from optical bandtail transitions in the silicon crystallites, while the transport is via a disordered silicon shell that wraps the crystallites.
