Spring 2014
As one of the most commonly applied semiconductors, nanostructured silicon has received considerable attention over the past several decades due to its suitable band gap for light harvesting (1.2 eV for bulk crystal and up to 1.9 eV for nanocrystals), unique tunable photoluminescence (PL) and...

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...
