Abstract
The structures of Light emitting porous and nanocrystalline silicon fi lms have been investigated using high resolution electron microscopy. A pseudo-ordered structure has been found from the Fourier transformat ion of the high resolution images after digital processing of the imag es. The structure description was distinguished from common amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon films. The formation mechanism of the pseu do-ordered structure is described in the letter.
