Abstract

Thermal decomposition of a metastable silane in nanoporous alumina leads to the formation of luminescent silicon nanostructures. While varying the pore size of the transparent membranes the luminescence can be shifted from 504 nm up to 537 nm by building up a sheet-like structure of siloxene on the inner pore surface.
