摘要
Photoluminescence spectra of high-purity crystalline silicon samples are measured for temperatures up to 1000 K. The room-temperature lifetime of the near-edge-photoluminescence is in agreement with a coulomb-enhanced radiative decay of free excitons. However, the increase in lifetime with temperature asks for a Shockley-Read-Hall recombination process, which involves a deep-defect of unknown origin. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
