Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The radiative recombination rate of excitons confined in Si nanocrystals was modified by placing a Au layer nearby. Oscillation of the rate was observed when the distance between the active layer and the Au layer was changed. By comparing the experimentally obtained oscillation behavior with a calculated one, the radiative and nonradiative recombination rates, and also the internal quantum efficiency of excitons in Si nanocrystals were estimated. The relation between the radiative rate and the luminescence wavelength was on a single curve for all the samples studied. On the other hand, the nonradiative rate depended strongly on samples. For the samples annealed at 1250°C, the estimated quantum efficiency was close to 100% at longer wavelength side of the luminescence bands, while the maximum quantum efficiency was 70% for the sample annealed at 1200°C. The present results provide evidence that in Si nanocrystal assemblies, the majority of nanocrystals in samples do not contribute to photoluminescence and a small part of nanocrystals luminesce with high quantum efficiencies, and thus the total quantum efficiency is mainly determined by the number ratio of bright and dark Si nanocrystals in the assembly. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
