Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) have unique properties manifested at nanometer dimensions. The optoelectronic properties of silicon nanocrystals depend on size and surface chemistry. Investigation into the electronic and optical nature of SiNCs can facilitate the synthesis of efficient optical and...

The present thesis describes preliminary studies required for evaluating silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) as photothermal (PT) therapy agents and drug delivery vehicles. Group 14 semiconductor NCs are of particular interest for these applications because of their tailorable optical response and...

Ultrafast carrier dynamics in silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) is explored using time-integrated photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence and pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopies. The role of surface oxygen in the optical emission dynamics of dodecyl functionalized Si NCs is...
