Filling a gap in the literature of the field, this handbook is an up-to-date reference on the
formation, processing, and properties of porous silicon. It covers the qualities of porous …

Using electron beam lithography, amorphous Si (a-Si) nanopillars were fabricated with a
height of 100 nm and diameters of 100, 200, 300, 500, and 1000 nm. The nanopillars were …

In this study, highly reactive silicon nanoparticles (h-Si) were successfully prepared by an
improved magnesiothermic reduction process with∼ 100 nm mesoporous silica …

Abstract Micron-sized aluminum (Al), due to its large volumetric energy density, is an
important fuel additive for broad propulsion and energetic applications. However, micron …

Boron often demonstrates low reactivity despite having high gravimetric and volumetric
energy density. Here we explore a family of oxidizers with very similar chemistries to …

We present a micro-manufacturing process for fabricating silicon-based bridge wire micro-
chip initiators with the capacity to liberate joules of chemical energy at the expense of micro …
