Luminescence probe has been broadly used for bio-imaging applications. Among them,
near-infrared (NIR) quantum dots (QDs) are more attractive due to minimal tissue …

Highly sensitive photodetection even approaching the single-photon level is critical to many
important applications. Graphene-based hybrid phototransistors are particularly promising …

Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) synthesized by plasma-induced or high temperature processes
(eg, thermal disproportionation of hydrogen silsesquioxane at T> 1100° C) display bright …

We develop a fast-response and flexible nanocrystal-based humidity sensor for real-time
monitoring of human activity: respiration and water evaporation on skin. A silicon …

Silicon nanomaterials are one of the most representative inorganic nanomedicines in
therapeutic biomedicine. Silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) have aroused wide attention in the …

Colloidal silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) hold ever-growing promise for the development of
novel optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Although it has been …

In this paper, a new model of the three-electron reservoir energy selective electronic cooling
device applying double-resonance energy filters is proposed by using finite time …

The unprecedented demand for sophisticated, self-powered, compact, ultrafast, cost-
effective, and broadband light sensors for a myriad of applications has spurred a lot of …

Abstract Si nanocrystals (Si-NCs) with extremely heavily B-and P-doped shells are
developed and their structural and optical properties are studied. Unlike conventional Si …

Co-doping of phosphorus and boron elements into crystalline silicon quantum dot (c-Si QD)
is an effective approach for enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) performance. In this …
