Nanophase nc–Si/a–SiC films that contain Si quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an
amorphous SiC matrix were deposited on single-crystal silicon substrates using inductively …

A simple, effective and innovative approach based on low-pressure, thermally
nonequilibrium, high-density inductively coupled plasmas is proposed to rapidly synthesize …

A wide optical gap nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) dielectric material is a basic requirement at
the n-type window layer of nc-Si solar cells in thin film nip structure on glass substrates …

Nanocrystalline silicon embedded silicon carbide, nc-Si (SiC) thin films were deposited on p-
type silicon substrates by using a thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with different …

We report on the quantum confined Stark effect coupled with a permanent built-in electric
dipole moment in size-controlled Si nanocrystals (SiNCs) investigated under steady state …

Silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) can be synthesized into a silica matrix by ion implantation of
silicon excess, followed by thermal annealing in N2 or Ar atmosphere. In this work …

Silicon core approximants terminated with hydrogen, hydroxyl and methyl termination were
investigated by density-functional-theory calculations within B3LYP hybrid functional …

In the last decade, the luminescent properties of silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) have been
increasingly studied, since Si-nc are considered as good candidates for optical …
