Silicon Nanocrystals: Fundamental Theory and Implications for Stimulated Emission

Figure 6

The lowest energy levels in the conduction band as functions of the NC radius, from (16)–(20). The energies are counted from the -point energy. Solid line: - type levels. Short dashed lines: - hybridized levels. Dots: - hybridized levels. Long dashed lines: - hybridized levels. All the levels are 12-fold degenerate including spin degeneracy.
