Abstract
Energy relaxation of hot electrons and holes confined in silicon nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix is studied theoretically. Phonon-assisted transitions rates strongly depend on nanocrystal diameter ranging from 108 s-1 to 10-12 s-1. The Auger-like transitions are found to be considerably faster and lead to rapid energy exchange within electron-hole pair.
