Silicon Nanocrystals: Fundamental Theory and Implications for Stimulated Emission
Figure 5
Hole energy spectrum according to (10)–(13) in case of no spin-orbit interaction. Solid line: -type level. Short dashed lines: - hybridized levels. Dots: - hybridized levels. Long dashed lines: - hybridized levels. All energies are counted deep into the valence band with respect to the valence band maximum. The degeneracy degree including spin (from bottom to top) is 6; 6; 6; 4; 6; 4; 6; 6; 2; 6; 2; 6.
