Abstract

Experimental evidences are presented for the first time that singlet oxygen generated ex situ acts as an inhibitor of nonradiative recombination in porous silicon (PSi). This effect is observed on a pristine PSi as well as on degraded porous layers quenched by ozone adsorption. A photoluminescence (PL) enhancement produced by singlet oxygen is accompanied with only slight oxidation of a PSi. We assume that the observed effect on PL efficiency is due to gentle selective oxidation of single defects on silicon nanocrystal surface. (Β© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract We have studied light‐induced processes in ultra‐thin porous silicon (por‐Si) impregnated with fullerene C~60~. After insertion of C~60~ molecules a photoluminescence (PL) is quenched for more than one order of magnitude. No additional EPR defects were detected under fullerene insertion

## Abstract We investigate the effect of oxygen molecule adsorption on the photoluminescence of porous silicon films of different porosity. The experimental results are explained by the photosensitization of singlet oxygen generation due to the energy transfer from excitons confined in Si nanocryst
