(a) Calculated absorption (dashed line) and emission (solid line) spectra: (from top to bottom) imaginary part of the dielectric function for the Si₁₀H₁₆ nanocrystal, the Si₁₀H₁₄ = O nanocrystal with a double bonded oxygen, and the Si₁₀H₁₄ > O nanocrystal with a bridge bonded oxygen [54]. (b) Experimental results for absorption (black curve on the right) and emission (red curve on the left) by Ma et al. [55].
