The silicon nanocrystal (nc-Si) inclusions are formed during gas-phase nucleation and incorporated in the hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon (a-SiC:H) matrix. The nc-Si provides high-quality recombination centers for the photogenerated carriers in the pm-Si1-x Cx:H material, while the a-SiC:H matrix plays a role of sensitizer. We elucidate and provide experimental evidence for this excitation-transfer mechanism. Strongly enhanced PL performance can be achieved by effective matrix passivation that favors a diffusion-driven carrier recombination in the nc-Si centers. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]a-SiC:H,Carrier recombination,Experimental evidence,Gas-phase nucleation,High quality,Hydrogenated amorphous silicon,matrix,Photogenerated carriers,Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition systems,Polymorphous silicon,Recombination centers,Silicon nanocrystal (ncSi),Transfer mechanisms[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3521280[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
