Silicon Nanocrystals: Fundamental Theory and Implications for Stimulated Emission

Figure 19

PL spectra as a function of surface defect concentration for non-interacting NCs. The spectra in the top panel correspond to 𝜇_radius=2.1 nm, var_radius=0.21 nm²; the bottom panel is for 𝜇_radius=1.3 nm, 𝜎_radius=0.38 nm. The legends show the defect concentration in cm⁻³.
