Over one hundred independent photoluminescence transitions are now known in crystalline
silicon. This paper begins by outlining those properties of silicon which are relevant to …

The objective of this review article is to give an overview of the current state-of-the-art of
photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy as a characterization tool in the study of …

This is the first book to explain, illustrate, and compare the most widely used methods in
optics: photoluminescence, infrared spectroscopy, and Raman scattering. Written with non …

Solid state physics (SSP) research at ISOLDE has been running since the mid-1970s and
accounts for about 10%–15% of the overall physics programme. ISOLDE is the world …

One of the great challenges in photonics has been to modify silicon to enhance light
emission properties. In this review article we survey recent studies which have generated …

Deep luminescence centers in Si associated with transition metals have been studied for
decades, both as markers for these deleterious contaminants, as well as for the possibility of …

The radiative decay of excitons bound to isoelectronic impurities is an important physical
process in crystalline semiconductors. This is particularly true in indirect band gap materials …

Silicon defect centers are promising candidates for waveguide-integrated silicon light
sources. We demonstrate microresonator-and waveguide-coupled photoluminescence from …

Some recent advances in the understanding of the electronic structure of bond excitons (BE:
s) in semiconductors are discussed, with the emphasis on properties of complex defects or …

A new photoluminescence band is reported for silicon lightly doped with copper. The
spectrum consists of five closely spaced zero-phonon lines, with the lowest energy …
