A variety of silicon-based nanostructures with dimensions in the 1–5 nm range now emit tunable photoluminescence (PL) spanning the visible range. Achievement of high …
Inspired by photosynthesis, solar water electrolysis uses sunlight to produce hydrogen, a clean, sustainable and storable fuel and a promising solution to the energy storage …
We show that the electronic and optical properties of silicon nanowires, with different size and orientation, are dominated by important many-body effects. The electronic and excitonic …
The structural and electronic properties of hydrogenated silicon nanowires (SiNWs) oriented in⟨ 100⟩,⟨ 110⟩,⟨ 111⟩, and⟨ 112⟩ directions are investigated systematically using a …
Using first-principles methods, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of SiGe nanowires-based heterostructures, whose lattice contains the same number of Si and Ge …

We calculated the electronic properties of high‐index free‐standing silicon nanowires. 11 ̄2 nanowires are indirect semiconductors for diameters down to 0.8 nm; 110 wires have a …
We have performed first-principles calculations in order to analyze the influence of spatial orientation on the electronic band structure and optical properties of hydrogenated …
