Abstract

Quantum confinement effects in the transmission spectrum of thin amorphous silicon, a-Si:H, films require a coherence length comparable to the film thickness, as well as good film homogeneity. After a careful investigation, we conclude that there is no quantum confinement in single layer a-Si:H films at room temperature.
