terms of the deposition times and current densities. The PSi/Co samples were characterized
by SEM, XRD, Raman, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The results indicated
that for all current densities, the PL intensities of PSi/Co samples with shorter deposition
times (ts≤ 20 min) increased due to spherical Co nanoparticles (NPs) could be created the
new recombination centers, compared to that of the undeposited PSi. On the other hand, the …
