Abstract
The relaxation of the luminescence intensity for porous silicon was fo r the first time investigated with red light excitation. A new type of relaxation behavior was observed under these excitation conditions. T he data on the evolution of the photoluminescence intensity and the ob servation under the same conditions of a persistent absorption saturat ion are described. A model is proposed to explain the observed effects as manifestations of a general carrier relaxation process.
