Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) that
results in resonant absorption, scattering, and near field enhancement around the NC can …

Phosphorene, a two-dimensional (2D) monolayer of black phosphorus, has attracted
considerable theoretical interest, although the experimental realization of monolayer …

Si nanocrystals have been extensively studied because of their novel properties and their
potential applications in electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic, thermoelectric and …

We report on an ab initio study of the structural and electronic properties of B-and P-doped
Si nanoclusters. The neutral impurities formation energies are calculated. We show that they …

Light-emitting Si-rich silicon nitride (SRN) films were fabricated by plasma enhanced
chemical vapor deposition followed by low temperature (500–900 C) annealing. The optical …

Computational studies of ultrafast photoinduced processes give valuable insights into the
photochemical mechanisms of a broad range of compounds. In order to accurately …

In this contribution, we summarize recent advances in the development of the time-
dependent density functional based tight-bind method (TD-DFTB). The scheme is …

Covering the key theories, tools, and techniques of this dynamic field, Handbook of
Nanophysics: Principles and Methods elucidates the general theoretical principles and …

Light-emitting Si-rich silicon nitride (SRN) films were fabricated by plasma enhanced
chemical vapor deposition followed by thermal annealing and the SRN external quantum …

Photonics is a key technology of this century. The combination of photonics and silicon
technology is of great importance because of the potentiality of coupling electronics and …
