A large amount of work world-wide has been directed towards obtaining an understanding
of the fundamental characteristics of porous Si. Much progress has been made following the …

The present work gives an overview of the developments in surface-enhanced Raman
scattering (SERS) with metal-coated porous silicon used as an active substrate. We focused …

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

This book presents an overview of the current understanding of the physics of zero-
dimensional semiconductors. It concentrates mainly on quantum dots of wide-gap …

Electronic properties of (100),(110), and (111) oriented H‐terminated silicon quantum‐size
wires have been calculated within the self‐consistent LCAO method. The quantum …
