As the most fundamental material for microelectronics, silicon (Si) has bourgeoned in the
past more than half a century. However, given the indirect bandgap of Si, the use of Si in …

Silicon nanomaterials and nanostructures exhibit different properties from those of bulk
silicon materials based on quantum confinement effects. They are expected to lead to the …

We propose a new entropy construct that generalizes the Tsallis, Rényi, Sharma-Mittal,
Barrow, Kaniadakis, and loop quantum gravity entropies and reduces to the Bekenstein …

In the present paper, we use the holographic approach to describe the early-time
acceleration and the late-time acceleration eras of our Universe in a unified manner. Such …

The observation of a large Nernst signal e N in an extended region above the critical
temperature T c in hole-doped cuprates provides evidence that vortex excitations survive …

Silicon dominates the electronics industry, but its poor optical properties mean that III–V
compound semiconductors are preferred for photonics applications. Photoluminescence at …

The question that continues to hinge the interrelation between cosmology and
thermodynamics is broadly described as—What is the form of horizon entropy that links the …

After the first visible photoluminescence (PL) from porous silicon (pSi), continuous efforts are
made to fabricate Si‐based compound nanomaterials embedded in matrices such as oxide …

Ever since the first reports about low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements of
Si nanocrystals Si (NCs), a severe deviation from the equations commonly used to describe …

Silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) is an enabling material for silicon photonics, which is no longer
an emerging field of research but an available technology with the first commercial products …
