Heavily oxidized porous silicon treated by high-pressure water vapor annealing exhibits a strong blue light emission band which includes a long-lived phosphorescence (Ph) component. This Ph is particularly strong below 200 K. Above 200 K, it experiences a progressive thermally activated quenching. The intensity of the…
