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...
