Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) hold great promise for many future technologies. Silicon is
already at the core of photovoltaics and microelectronics, and SiQDs are capable of efficient …

The role of quantum confinement (QC) in Si and Ge nanostructures (NSs) including quantum
dots, quantum wires, and quantum wells is assessed under a wide variety of fabrication …

In this review, we try to derive a comprehensive understanding of the transport mechanisms
in three dimensional ensembles of Si quantum dots (QDs) that are embedded in an …

We apply perturbative effective mass theory as a broadly applicable theoretical model for
quantum confinement (QC) in all Si and Ge nanostructures including quantum wells (QWs) …

Silicon nanocrystals are an extensively studied light-emitting material due to their inherent
biocompatibility and compatibility with silicon-based technology. Although they might seem …

Very stable and bright emitting amine-terminated Si nanoparticles (NPs) with different alkyl
chain lengths between the Si core and amine end-group are synthesized. The obtained NPs …

Recent developments in the field of silicon nanostructures, particularly those properties and
phenomena that are related to the photoluminescence (PL) from silicon nanostructures …

We report on the quantum yield, photoluminescence (PL) lifetime, and ensemble
photoluminescent stability of highly monodisperse plasma-synthesized silicon nanocrystals …

We report a detailed photoluminescence (PL) study on single silicon nanocrystals produced
by laser pyrolysis. The PL spectra reveal nearly homogeneously broadened zero-phonon …

Many bottom-up and top-down techniques for nanomaterial and nanostructure generation
have enabled the development of applications in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics …
