Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) synthesized by plasma-induced or high temperature processes
(eg, thermal disproportionation of hydrogen silsesquioxane at T> 1100° C) display bright …

Among the many parts constituting a scanning tunneling microscope, the metallic tip is the
component that directly interacts with the specimen and plays a critical role in visualizing the …

Few-layer (FL) transition-metal dichalcogenides have drawn attention for nanoelectronics
applications due to their improved mobility, owing to the partial screening of charged …

The mechanisms of recombination of photo-generated charge carriers and the origin of
luminescence in silicon nanocrystals, quantum dots or nanoparticles (Si-NPs) are essential …

Recent studies have shown the presence of an amorphous surface layer in nominally
crystalline silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) produced by some of the most common synthetic …

Defects in Nanocrystals: Structural and Physico-Chemical Aspects discusses the nature of
semiconductor systems and the effect of the size and shape on their thermodynamic and …

Tin nanocrystals embedded in a SiSn layer grown by molecular beam epitaxy on n-type Si
are investigated by means of deep level transient spectroscopy. Two Sn related deep traps …

We present results of a scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) study of the impact of
dehydrogenation on the electronic structures of hydrogen-passivated silicon nanocrystals …

We present the photoluminescence (PL) emission of Silicon and Germanium nanocrystals
(NCs) of different sizes embedded in two different matrices. Formation of the NCs is …
