Ion implantation has become a versatile and powerful technique for synthesizing nanometer‐
scale clusters and crystals embedded in the near‐surface region of a variety of hosts in …

The difference between oxide and hydrogen passivation of small Si nanocrystals is explored
by all-electron, hybrid functional DFT calculations with unrestricted geometry optimization …

The spontaneous formation of organized nanocrystals in semiconductors has been
observed,,,, during heteroepitaxial growth and chemical synthesis. The ability to fabricate …

This report features the recent progress in understanding the behaviour of atoms and
valence electrons involved in the process of oxidation, and some technological development …

An extension of the classic thermodynamics theory to nanometer scale has generated a new
interdisciplinary theory–nanothermodynamics. It serves as a bridge between macroscopic …

A detailed analysis of the strong room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) signal of size
controlled nc-Si is reported. The size control of nc-Si is realized by evaporation of S i O/S i O …

Ion implantation is a versatile and powerful technique for forming many types of
nanocrystalline precipitates embedded in the near-surface region of a wide variety of …

This book covers a broad spectrum of the silicon-based materials and their device
applications. This book provides a broad coverage of the silicon-based materials including …

The use of naturally present heterogeneous catalysts has recently been an essential issue
in the Fenton and photo-Fenton processes. In this study, the uses of basalt as a catalyst for …
