We incorporate the tools of Lévy processes and distributions to describe the photoluminescence of silicon nanocrystals. The method relies on two novel features: first we use exact forms of one-sided Lévy distributions to get an excellent reproduction of experimental data. Then we show that the dynamics leading to photoluminescence decay can be modelled in terms of fractional Fokker-Planck equation. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
We incorporate the tools of Lévy processes and distributions to describe the photoluminescence of silicon nanocrystals. The method relies on two novel features: first we use exact forms of one-sided Lévy distributions to get an excellent reproduction of experimental data. Then we show that the dynamics leading to photoluminescence decay can be modelled in terms of fractional Fokker-Planck equation. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
