✦ Synopsis
The morphological di †erences between porous silicon formed in the dark or under illumination have been studied by means of gravimetric measurements, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Photoetching has been found to give rise to a complex surface structure, due to the presence of narrower outer silicon Ðbres, which su †er a more severe cracking process upon drying.

The morphology of porous silicon layers has been investigated by polarization resolved photoluminescence measurements in different geometrical arrangements. A uniaxial alignment of the long ellipsoidal axis of the aspheric Si nanocrystallites (NCs) parallel to the [100] growth direction is found. Th
The e †ect of di †erent polarization orientations of the excitation source on the Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of a porous silicon (PS) layer within two di †erent micro-regions was investigated. Two micro-regions (2 lm) along the (100) direction were studied, close to the crystalline sil
