The striking photoluminescence properties of porous silicon have attracted considerable
research interest since their discovery in 1990. Luminescence is due to excitonic …

There is a rapidly growing interest in the surface chemistry of the group (IV) semiconductors,
silicon and germanium, not only for the many technological applications presently in use …

All manifestations of pores in silicon are reviewed and discussed with respect to possible
applications. Particular emphasis is put on macropores, which are classified in detail and …

Bio‐and chemical sensing, biomaterials, and in vivo electronics are some of the latest
advances for porous silicon (p‐Si) discussed in this review. p‐Si is extremely versatile owing …

CO2 laser induced pyrolysis of silane was used to produce silicon nanoparticles with an
average diameter as small as 5 nm at high rates (up to 200 mg/h). Etching these particles …

Methods for the incorporation of organic functionality onto semiconductor surfaces have
seen immense progress in recent years. Of the multiple methods developed, the direct …

Lewis acid mediated hydrosilylation of alkynes and alkenes on non-oxidized hydride-
terminated porous silicon derivatizes the surface with alkenyl and alkyl functionalities …

Desorption/ionization on porous silicon mass spectrometry (DIOS-MS) is a novel method for
generating and analyzing gas-phase ions that employs direct laser vaporization. The …

We suggest a method for efficient (high-coverage) grafting of organic molecules onto
photoluminescent silicon nanoparticles. High coverage grafting was enabled by use of a …

A novel white light-promoted reaction using photoluminescent nanocrystalline silicon
enables the hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes, providing stabilization of the porous …
