Spherical silicon nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation of a single crystal Si wafer
immersed in 95% ethanol with a pulse duration shorter than the time of electron− phonon …

Researchers are increasingly focused on the nanoscale level of organization where
biological processes take place in living systems. Nanoparticles (NPs, eg, 1–100 nm …

The authors provided the reliability characteristics of nonvolatile nickel-silicide nanocrystal
memories embedded in oxide and nitride layers for next-generation nonvolatile memory …

In this paper we report size dependent single electron tunneling behavior at room
temperature in a metal–oxide–semiconductor structure with uniformly sized Pt nanoparticles …

The significance and epidemiological effects of metals to life necessitate the development of
direct, efficient, and rapid method of analysis. Taking advantage of its simple, fast, and high …

Charge retention of Si nanocrystals elaborated by ultra-low energy ion implantation and
thermal annealings into a thin SiO2 layer is characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

It is fundamentally important to understand the nanoscale electronic properties of a single
quantum dot (QD) contrary to an ensemble of QDs. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) …

Silicon nanoparticles (Si-nps) embedded in silicon oxide matrix were created using silicon-
rich oxide (SRO) films deposited by low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) …

En raison de leurs propriétés nouvelles, les matériaux composites à base de nanocristaux
de silicium (nc-Si) contenus dans des matrices siliciées amorphes suscitent un intérêt …

The authors provided the formation and memory effects of nonvolatile multilayer nickel-
silicide nanocrystal memory in this study. This proposed structure can efficiently improve the …
