Nonthermal plasmas have emerged as a viable synthesis technique for nanocrystal
materials. Inherently solvent and ligand-free, nonthermal plasmas offer the ability to …

Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles
and represent the plasma state of soft matter. Complex plasmas have several remarkable …

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) has been used for decades—doped and as
intrinsic absorber layers—in thin-film silicon solar cells. Whereas their effiency was improved …

Strong electromagnetic field enhancement that occurs under conditions of the surface
plasmon excitation in metallic nanoparticles deposited on a semiconductor surface is a very …

Several amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) deposition conditions have been reported to produce
films that degrade least under light soaking when incorporated into a-Si: H solar cells …

The nebulization of colloidal suspensions is analyzed by dynamic light scattering, scanning,
and transmission electron microscopies. While primary agglomeration can be important for …

In the past 2 years major advances have been made in the understanding of silane–
hydrogen plasmas. In particular, the control of the formation of clusters and even crystallites …

The first amorphous silicon layers were reported in 1965 as films of 'silicon from
silane'deposited in a radio frequency glow discharge [1]. Ten years later, Walter Spear and …

We report on heterojunction solar cells whose thin intrinsic crystalline absorber layer has
been obtained by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at 165° C on highly doped p …

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) is attractive for radiation detectors because of its
radiation resistance and processability over large areas with mature Si microfabrication …
