Abstract
The excitation and emission spectra of red photoluminescence of Si wire nanostructures were studied in dependence on surface morphology and influence of magnetic field. The magnetic field of 0.5 T reduced the emission intensity by 10 % at all emission spectral range. Comparison of the two photoluminescence models - the quantum confinement and the hot carrier ballistic ones - favours the second model based on the assumption of the excitation of interface oxide defect related luminescence by hot quazi-ballistic carriers created by illumination. The effective mobility of hot electrons is estimated as 6000 cm 2/Vs, which greatly exceeds normal electron mobility (1900 cm 2V · s) in Si and thus confirms the presence of hot carrier ballistic motion.
