The unique plasma-specific features and physical phenomena in the organization of
nanoscale soild-state systems in a broad range of elemental composition, structure, and …

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 …

A number of thin silicon films are deposited on crystalline silicon, native oxidized crystalline
silicon, and optical quality fused quartz substrates through the use of ultra-high-vacuum …

Abstract Effects of boron and phosphorus do** on the structural, electrical, and optical
properties of silicon nanocrystals in superlattice thin films were investigated. Silicon …

Quantum confined silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) may allow for the fabrication of an all silicon
multiple junction photovoltaic cell, or novel photovoltaic cells that surpasses the single …

We have studied structural, electrical and photoluminescence properties of hydrogenated
nanocrystalline silicon films with different crystalline volume fractions (from 0—pristine …

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) thin films were deposited at low temperature by
electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECRCVD). A furnace annealing …

Light induced degradation is one of the major research challenges of hydrogenated
amorphous silicon related thin film silicon solar cells. Amorphous silicon shows creation of …

This study achieves atomistic calculations of both InSb nanocrystals (NCs) and nanorods
(NRs) which are important members of the III− V semiconductor family. A more accurate …

We report on the formation of large voids in hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si: H)
PIN solar cells upon light-soaking. We could monitor in situ, the formation of macroscopic …
