Abstract
We examined the microstructure of luminescent porous silicon by cross- sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and found a threadlike structure consisting of Si microcrystals. We also found Si microcrystals with sizes ranging about 3-20 nm randomly distributed t hroughout the porous silicon.
