In this work, the nanocrystalline porous silicon (PS) is prepared through the simple electrochemical etching of n-type Si (1 0 0) under the illumination of a 100 W incandescent white light. SEM, AFM, Raman and PL have been used to characterize the morphological and optical properties of the PS. SEM...
