The study of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, a-Si: H has become an active and large
subfield of growing interest in noncrystalline semiconductors. This paper reviews recent …

Nanocrystalline solids are polycrystals the crystal size of which is a few (typically 1 to 10)
nanometers so that 50% or more of the solid consists of incoherent interfaces between …

Nanostructured Materials (NsM) are materials with a microstructure the characteristic length
scale of which is on the order of a few (typically 1–10) nanometers. NsM may be in or far …

The red shift and the broadening of the Raman signal from microcrystalline silicon films is
described in terms of a relaxation in the q-vector selection rule for the excitation of the …

Low-dimensional semiconductor structures, often referred to as nanocrystals or quantum
dots, exhibit fascinating behavior and have a multitude of potential applications, especially …

Raman studies of crystal defects are reviewed. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique
and has been used widely for investigating disordered structures. The degree of disorder in …

Raman scattering measurements on hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon prepared in a
hydrogen plasma at deposition temperatures between approximately= 65 and 400 degrees …

Raman scattering measurements are reported on polycrystalline silicon films prepared in a
hydrogen plasma at temperatures between 70 and 400° C. The spectra show several …

We measured photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra for films deposited by hot-wire
chemical vapor deposition using various hydrogen to silane ratios. We observed:(a) a PL …
