A large amount of work world-wide has been directed towards obtaining an understanding
of the fundamental characteristics of porous Si. Much progress has been made following the …

The striking photoluminescence properties of porous silicon have attracted considerable
research interest since their discovery in 1990. Luminescence is due to excitonic …

A blue-photoluminescence (PL) band, centered at 2.6 eV, was observed in thermally and
chemically oxidized light-emitting porous silicon layers with an efficiency that can exceed …

We report a photoluminescence study of silicon nanoclusters produced by laser ablation. It
was found that by varying the preparation parameters it was possible to change the mean …

The optical properties of porous Si films produced by electrochemical dissolution of Si are
reviewed. From measurements of the optical absorption spectra an inverse relationship …

One of the topics of the biomedical research is to design and develop new drug delivery
systems able to perform time-controlled release of medicals with target specificity. Porous …

With the rapid development of technologies for the fabrication of, as well as applications of
low-dimensional structures, the demands on characterization techniques increase. Spatial …

This paper describes the chemical modification of high surface area, photoluminescent
porous silicon (PSi) by reaction at a moderately elevated temperature (< 115° C) with …

We have analyzed red and blue luminescence from porous silicon as a function of oxidation
parameters and feature dimension determined with an atomic force microscope. We have …
