Abstract
Simulation and experimental studies on luminescent down-shifting (LDS) effect based on Si-quantum dots dispersed in a silicon dioxide matrix are performed. We used a transfer matrix approach to simulate the optical properties of our structure. In order to take into account the presence of the LDS-layer, we modify the incoming photon flux seen by the cell, considering the Si-quantum dots absorption and emission with a fixed quantum yield (QY). The estimation of the Si-quantum dots QY has been performed by photoluminescence decay time measurements. Using the method described in [4], we find a QY between 25% and 35%.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
