Abstract
From the close similarity of the absorption and excitation spectra below the gap, we deduce that there is no significant Stokes shift in the luminescence of a-Si:H. We propose a model for the zero-phonon states which accounts for the luminescence and the absorption spectrum in terms of disorder related fluctuations of the band-gap.
