Quantum dot (QD) surface chemistry is an emerging field in semiconductor nanocrystal
related research. Along with size manipulation, the careful control of QD surface chemistry …

Abstract Silicon nanocrystals (Si‐NCs) are emerging as an attractive class of quantum dots
owing to the natural abundance of silicon in the Earth's crust, their low toxicity compared to …

Ligand-stabilized copper selenide (Cu2-x Se) nanocrystals, approximately 16 nm in
diameter, were synthesized by a colloidal hot injection method and coated with amphiphilic …

The intracellular delivery and functionalization of genetic molecules play critical roles in
gene‐based theranostics. In particular, the delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) with safe …

We report a chemical route to colloidal silicon (Si) nanocrystals, or quantum dots, with widely
tunable average diameter, from less than 3 nm up to 90 nm and peak photoluminescence …

Size-selective precipitation was used to successfully separate colloidally stable
allylbenzene-capped silicon nanocrystals into several visible emitting monodisperse …

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) hold great promise for many future technologies. Silicon is
already at the core of photovoltaics and microelectronics, and SiQDs are capable of efficient …

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 …

A nonwoven fabric with paperlike qualities composed of silicon nanowires is reported. The
nanowires, made by the supercritical-fluid–liquid–solid process, are crystalline, range in …

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured for dodecene-capped Si nanocrystals with
a wide range of average diameters, from 1.8 to 9.1 nm. Nanocrystals larger than 3 nm …
