Size vs Surface: Tuning the Photoluminescence of Freestanding Silicon Nanocrystals Across the Visible Spectrum via Surface Groups
Open accessAbstract
The syntheses of colloidal silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) with dimensions in the 3-4 nm size regime as well as effective methodologies for their functionalization with alkyl, amine, phosphine, and acetal functional groups are reported. Through rational variation in the surface moieties we demonstrate that the photoluminescence of Si-NCs can be effectively tuned across the entire visible spectral region without changing particle size. The surface-state dependent emission exhibited short-lived excited-states and higher relative photoluminescence quantum yields compared to Si-NCs of equivalent size exhibiting emission originating from the band gap transition. The Si-NCs were exhaustively characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and their optical properties were thoroughly investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy, excited-state lifetime measurements, photobleaching experiments, and solvatochromism studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
