Metamaterials have optical properties that are unprecedented in nature. They have opened
new horizons in light manipulation, with the ability to bend, focus, completely reflect …

Silane is a major silicon source gas for production of polycrystalline silicon. Production of
polysilicon from silane has several benefits: lower energy consumption, much easily …

A novel Eulerian particle model tailored for the application in computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) is presented. The model is based on a bivariate moment method and features a full …

Nonthermal plasma flow tube reactors are industrially scalable systems for the production of
nanocrystal (NC) based materials and coatings. One key advantage of nonthermal plasma …

Nucleation and growth are the central reactions in gas phase nanomaterial synthesis
reactors. When particles collisionally grow, latent heat release occurs, which can lead to …

Silicon in the form of nanoparticles has attracted significant interest in the field of lithium-ion
batteries due to the enormous capability of lithium intake. In the present work we …

Abstract High purity (∼ 99%) nano silica with an average particle size of∼ 100 nm was
extracted at pH 3 at 650° C from a natural resource, rice husk, using alkaline extraction …

The silicon age that started in the 60s of the last century has changed the world profoundly,
mainly related to the invention and development of microprocessor technology. Meanwhile …

Silicon based thermoelectrics are promising candidates for high temperature energy
scavenging applications. We present the properties of thermoelectrics made from highly …

This work is devoted to scale-up the microwave plasma synthesis of silicon nanoparticles
from gaseous precursor monosilane (SiH 4), previously investigated in lab-scale processes …
