Synopsis

Porous silicon (PSi) is a promising material for several applications in significant and varied fields photoluminescence (PL), electroluminescence (EL) and gas and (bio) sensing, etc. In this work we have studied the influence of porosity on the structural and electronic properties of porous silicon and comparing them to those of the solid (c-Si ) in order to understand changes in these properties when it is reduced to nanometric sizes.
