Strong size-dependent properties of nanocrystal quantum dots stipulate targeting individual particles for the investigation of their basic properties [1]. In this talk fundamental parameters of the light emission from silicon quantum dots will be summarized as deduced from single-dot emission, absorption and lifetime measurements [2-7]. In particular, emission and absorption states in individual silicon nanocrystals were studied by temperature-dependent photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation experiments. Both close-to-spherical and elongated particles were probed and the results were compared to first-principle calculation. The comparison revealed good agreement with theory, where the intermixing of direct and indirect states in nanostructured silicon takes place as a function of nanoparticle size, shape and photon energy. Next, some applications of silicon nanocrystal quantum dots in light-conversion applications will be summarized [8-10]. An important feature of such nanoparticles is a large Stokes shift, stemming from the bulk material energy structure. This property makes these fluorophores good candidates for some light converting applications, such as in luminescent solar concentrators [10]. We have prepared hybrid materials with different polymers, where enhancement of quantum yield up to 60-70% was recorded in case of off-stochiometry thiols, attributed to dangling bond passivation by polymer radicals. The resulting nanoparticle-polymer hybrids were successfully integrated with glass and their stability over months was demonstrated [9].
