Annotation The paper presents a study on a series of porous silicon films of various thicknesses, prepared at 20 mA current density using a photoluminescence fitting model to determine the average crystallite size of sphe-rical shaped interconnected silicon quantum dots. Discrepancy in photoluminescence behavior of the samples is well explained with this model.
