abstract = "A simple model for Si nano-crystallites (NC's) embedded in amorphous silicon matrix is considered within the envelope function approximation. It is shown that, although the effect of the NC's on the tail states is small, there are electron and hole states localized in the NC's and separated by an energy of the order of 2eV. These states can be responsible for the experimentally observed features in the photoluminescence spectra of NC-Si/a-Si:H films. {\textcopyright} 2005 American Institute of Physics.",
