The discovery of strong luminescence at room temperature from silicon cluster has attracted
an enormous attention in recent years due to its potential applications in Si-based …

Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) SiC was irradiated with 70 keV He ions at room
temperature. The damage behavior was investigated by near edge X-ray absorption fine …

We report a comparative study of the electronic and optical properties of five silicon carbide
(SiC) materials of different crystal structures (6H and 3C polytypes), sizes (micro-and …

Within this work amorphous SiC is investigated for its applicability in photovoltaic devices.
The temperature stability and dopability of SiC makes this material very attractive for …

Produced water is a by-product of oil and gas production. Once produced water is separated
from oil (and gas) it is treated and then discharged to surface water or re-injected for either …

Abstract 3C-β SiC was implanted with He and H ions using plasma immersion ion
implantation (PIII). Regions of damage were created at various depths by applying a sample …

Si nanocrystals embedded in a wide bandgap material have been of interest for various
electronic devices, including third-generation solar cells with efficiency values exceeding …

The nature of the hydrogen bonds and their influence on film (micro/nano) structure has
been investigated as a function of substrate temperature TS (200–500° C) in hydrogenated …

To provide safe lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) at low cost, battery materials which lead to
reduced Li dendrite formation are needed. The currently used anode materials have low …

This paper reports the impact of thermal annealing up to temperatures of 1200° C on the
chemical and mechanical properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC: H) …
