Generalized rate-equation analysis of excitation exchange between silicon nanoclusters and erbium ions
We discuss the use of rate equations to analyze the sensitization of erbium luminescence by silicon nanoclusters. In applying the general form of second-order coupled rate-equations to the Si nanocluster-erbium system, we find that the photoluminescence dynamics cannot be described using a simple ra...
