The PL of SRO has been extensively studied for the improvement of Si-based light-emitting The PL of SRO has been extensively studied for the improvement of Si-based light-emitdevices. Its origin was mostly related to to luminescent centers such asO-based defects, ting devices. Its origin was mainly related luminescent centers such as O-based defects, band-to-band transitions in Si-ncs and radiative defects formed atat the SRO/Si-ncs interband-to-band transitions in Si-ncs and radiative defects formed the SRO/Si-ncs interface face [4,19,29].
