Silicon-based, light-emitting devices (LED's) should find numerous uses in optoelectronics.
For example, the integration of silicon LED's with silicon microelectronics could lead to …

Filling a gap in the literature of the field, this handbook is an up-to-date reference on the
formation, processing, and properties of porous silicon. It covers the qualities of porous …

This paper attempts to review the field of research into light emission from porous silicon.
The driving force behind such research is the tantalizing goal of adding optoelectronic …

Although porous silicon has been known for more than 35 years, only in 1990 was it
recognized that porous silicon shows an increased bandgap and efficient room-temperature …

The discovery of bright visible light emission from porous silicon has opened the door to
various nanometer sized silicon structures where the confinement of carriers gives rise to …

Due to the recent discovery of the room-temperature visible light emission from porous
silicon (P-Si), a great interest in P-Si and related materials has arisen in the last decade of …

The properties and origins of the red, blue and infrared photoluminescence bands of porous
silicon are reviewed and discussed in the light of the models that have been proposed to …

Porous silicon has attracted considerable scientific interest ever since the recent discovery
of visible photoluminescence. We present a review of the theoretical work done on this …

Impressive advances have been made over the last few years in teaching silicon how to emit
light. Recently, light-emitting devices (LEDs) made of porous silicon and other forms of …
