Carbenes are perhaps the most versatile reactive intermediates in chemistry. Since the
original visions of “methylene” by Dumas 1 in 1835 and a generalization of this vision by Nef …

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 …

Intravesical administration of first‐line drugs has shown failure in the treatment of bladder
cancer owing to the poor tumor retention time of chemotherapeutics. Herein, we report an …

The optical properties of silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) are a subject of intense study and
continued debate. In particular, Si NC photoluminescence (PL) properties are known to …

Silicon nanocrystals exhibit size-dependent optical and electronic properties that may be
exploited for applications ranging from sensors to photovoltaics. In addition, they can be …

Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) can be challenging to prepare with defined size, crystallinity,
composition, and surface chemistry. As is the case for any nanomaterial, controlling these …

Surface passivation has enabled the development of silicon-based solar cells and
microelectronics. However, a number of emerging applications require a paradigm shift from …

The focus of this study was to demonstrate the vapor-phase halogenation of Si (100) and
subsequently evaluate the inhibiting ability of the halogenated surfaces toward atomic layer …

The synthesis of polymer grafted nanoparticles that are stable at high salinities and high
temperature with low retention in porous media is of paramount importance for subsurface …

Alkoxy-terminated silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) were synthesized via hydrosilylation of
aliphatic ketones on hydride-terminated SiQD (H-SiQD) surfaces under microwave …
