Spring 2012
Silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) have been suggested for sensing and lasing applications due to their low-toxicity and compatibility with existing microelectronic technologies. Their broad luminescence, due to homogeneous (150 meV or 40 nm at room temperature) and inhomogeneous broadening, may...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a promising wide band gap semiconductor with exceptional electrical and optical properties. Thin film ZnO can be used for a wide variety of electronic and optoelectronic device applications. The first step on the way to achieving good quality devices is to grow optimum quality...

Silicon Nanoparticles from the Inside Out: Exploring the Internal Structure of Silicon Nanoparticles and Its Impact on Their Photoluminescence
DownloadFall 2020
Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) have garnered significant attention as a biologically compatible alternative to traditional quantum dots. SiNPs are well suited for a wide range of applications due to their photoluminescence (PL) and chemical properties. These advantageous properties can be...

Electrons, the fundamental charge carriers in solid-state devices, possess three intrinsic properties: mass, charge and spin. Spin is a quantum mechanical property, but can be loosely visualized as a tiny “intrinsic” magnetic dipole moment attached to an electron. In conventional electron...
