In-field analysis (eg, clinical and diagnostics) using nanostructured porous silicon (PSi) for
label-free optical biosensing has been hindered so far by insufficient sensitivity of PSi …

We propose a rapid, one-pot method to generate photoluminescent (PL) mesoporous silicon
nanoparticles (PSiNPs). Typically, mesoporous silicon (meso-PSi) films, obtained by …

There is experimental evidence suggesting that metal adatoms enhance the physisorption of
hydrogen molecules in porous silicon. However, theoretical reports about the physical …

The effect of adsorption and confinement on ibuprofen was studied by immersion loading
the molecules into porous silicon (PSi) microparticles. The PSi microparticles were modified …

Porous structures offer an enormous surface suitable for gas sensing, however, the effects of
their quantum quasi-confinement on their molecular sensing capacities has been seldom …

Photoluminescent silicon nanocrystals are very attractive for biomedical and electronic
applications. Here a new process is presented to synthesize photoluminescent silicon …

As a free and abundant alternative energy source, the use of sunlight to store and transfer
energy is of great importance to a clean and sustainable future. Aiming for an …

This dissertation discusses analyte-dependent responses using porous silicon (pSi) as a
medium. This research demonstrates how analytes affect intrinsic pSi photoluminescence …
