Si nanocrystals (nc-Si) with different sizes embedded in SiO2 matrix have been synthesized with various recipes of Si ion implantation. The influence of nanocrystal size on optical properties, including dielectric functions and optical constants, of the nc-Si has been investigated with spectroscopic...
