Optical transitions in silicon nanocrystals with different surface passivations were probed at low temperatures on a single-particle level. A type of quasidirect recombination process, different from the quantum-confined exciton transition, is identified.
The luminescence spectra have different emission energies, but the contribution of a no-phonon transition is significantly higher than expected from the quantum-confinement model. Its relative strength was found to be temperature dependent, suggesting spatial localization of excitons as a possible origin.
