Abstract
The size‐dependence of the absolute luminescence quantum yield of size‐separated silicon nanocrystals reveals a “volcano” behavior, which switches on around 5 nm, peaks at near 3.7–3.9 nm, and decreases thereafter. These three regions respectively define: i) the transition from bulk to strongly quantum confined emissive silicon, ii) increasing confinement enhancing radiative recombination, and iii) increasing contributions favoring non‐radiative recombination.
