Nonthermal plasmas have emerged as a viable synthesis technique for nanocrystal
materials. Inherently solvent and ligand-free, nonthermal plasmas offer the ability to …

Efficient and stable algorithms for the calculation of spectral quantities and correlation
functions are some of the key tools in computational condensed-matter physics. In this paper …

Semiconductor nanocrystals exhibit a wide range of size-dependent properties. Variations in
fundamental characteristics ranging from phase transitions to electrical conductivity can be …

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

This review seeks to extend the scope of both the experimental and theoreticalwork carried
out since I completed my 1993 review on the electronic, optical, andto a lesser extent, the …

This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

Auger recombination is the main non-radiative decay pathway for multi-carrier states of
colloidal quantum dots, which affects performance of most of their optical and optoelectronic …

The role of quantum confinement (QC) in Si and Ge nanostructures (NSs) including quantum
dots, quantum wires, and quantum wells is assessed under a wide variety of fabrication …

New methods of high resolution spectral analysis of short time signals are presented. These
methods utilize the filter-diagonalization approach of Wall and Neuhauser [J. Chem. Phys …

A plane-wave semiempirical pseudopotential method with nonlocal potentials and spin-orbit
coupling is used to calculate the electronic structure of surface-passivated wurtzite CdSe …
