Size-dependent visible absorption and fast photoluminescence decay dynamics from freestanding strained silicon nanocrystals

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this article, we report on the visible absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and fast PL decay dynamics from freestanding Si nanocrystals (NCs) that are anisotropically strained. Direct evidence of strain-induced dislocations is shown from high-resolution transm...
