We report the observation of positive optical gain in silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) embedded
in silicon nitride measured by the variable stripe length technique. We evidence the onset of …

Silicon quantum dots embedded in an amorphous matrix of silicon carbide were realized by
a magnetron co-sputtering process and post-annealing. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy …
