Dynamic transition of nanosilicon from indirect to direct-like nature by strain-induced structural relaxation

Silicon nanoclusters exhibit light emission with direct-like ns–µs time dynamics; however, they show variable synthesis and structure, optical, and electronic characteristics. The widely adopted model is a core–shell in which the core is an indirect tetrahedral absorbing Si phase, while the shell is...
