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

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 …

Raman spectroscopy is recognized as a powerful technique for the characterization of Si
structures. As is well known, the Raman spectrum for amorphous Si a-Si: H is characterized …

The plasma processes and growth reactions involved in the deposition of amorphous,
polymorphous and microcrystalline silicon thin films are reviewed. The reference being a-Si …

We present highly conductive and transparent p-type hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon
oxide (p-type nc-SiO X: H) layers produced by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor …

The growth of amorphous, microcrystalline, and polymorphous silicon has been investigated
by studying the species contributing to the growth and resulting film structure. The surface …

Nanostructured Si thin films, also referred as polymorphous, were grown by plasma-
enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The term “polymorphous” is used to define silicon …

We report on the absorption of a 100nm thick hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer
patterned as a planar photonic crystal (PPC), using laser holography and reactive ion …

In this study, Ni–Cu films are grown on ITO (indium tin oxide) coated glass substrates by
electrodeposition technique at various electrolyte temperatures, and then surface …

The properties of free carriers photogenerated in the extended states of hydrogenated
amorphous silicon have been investigated using the techniques of femtosecond time …
