Short time-scale radiative transfer in light-emitting porous silicon Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In this work, a five level system is proposed to model the short time-scale radiative transfer in light-emitting porous silicon. Equations are derived for the various energy levels. The model is applied to picosecond differential transmission measurements made on porous silicon. A picture of short time-scale carrier dynamics is drawn considering the unique properties of confinement, high surface-to-volume ratio and disorder on several length scales.
