Silicon microphotonics, a technology which merges photonics and silicon microelectronic
components, is rapidly evolving. Many different fields of application are emerging …

This review is devoted to the analysis of the problems related to fabrication of the Si porous
layers. The review was motivated by a great interest to Si-based porous materials from nano …

We demonstrate that electrochemically etched, hydrogen capped Si n H x clusters with n
larger than 20 are obtained within a family of discrete sizes. These sizes are 1.0 (Si 29), 1.67 …

We dispersed electrochemical etched silicon into a colloid of ultrasmall ultrabright Si
nanoparticles. Direct imaging using transmission electron microscopy shows particles of∼ 1 …

We dispersed electrochemical etched Si into a colloid of ultrabright blue luminescent
nanoparticles (1 nm in diameter) and reconstituted it into films or microcrystallites. When the …

Ultrathin films of highly monodispersed luminescent Si nanoparticles are directly integrated
on polycrystalline Si solar cells. The authors monitor the open-circuit voltage and the short …

We dispersed electrochemical etched Si into a colloid of ultrasmall blue luminescent
nanoparticles, observable with the naked eye, in room light. We use two-photon near …

We propose, using density functional, configuration interaction, and quantum Monte Carlo
calculations, structural prototypes of ultrasmall ultrabright particles prepared by dispersion …

We report laser oscillation at 610 nm in aggregates of ultrasmall elemental Si nanoparticles.
The particles are ultrabright red emitting, dispersed from bulk Si by electrochemistry. The …

Ultrabright ultrasmall (∼ 1 nm) blue luminescent Si 29 nanoparticles are chlorinated by
reaction with Cl 2 gas. A Si–N linkage is formed by the reaction of the chlorinated particles …
