Over the last decades silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) were the subject of an intense research
activity, due to their optical and electronic properties. Different experimental approaches …

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

Substitutional group III and group V elements, though commonly used as shallow dopants in
bulk silicon, have a limited efficiency in silicon nanocrystals. In this work, we use first …

The electronic structure of Si nanocrystals (NCs) doped with B (acceptor) and P (donor)
impurities is calculated. A tight-binding approach is employed, allowing us to investigate …

The properties of n‐and p‐doped silicon nanocrystals obtained through ab initio calculations
are reviewed here. The aim is the understanding of the effects induced by substitutional …

Over the last decades semiconducting nanostructures with reduced dimensionality have
attracted considerable scientific interest due to their peculiar properties, arising from the …

Il drogaggio di nanocristalli di silicio (Si NCs) è stato oggetto di un forte dibattito
sperimentale e teorico per più di un decennio. L'ostacolo principale nella comprensione di …
