Emission peculiarities of high-quantum yield silicon nanoparticles

Thursday, March 13, 2014 - 07:00 in Physics & Chemistry

In 1990, scientists reported that nanostructured silicon can emit visible light. This report opened a new frontier for photoelectronics in information technology, called "silicon photonics". Furthermore, the continuous tuning of electromagnetic emission from near-UV to near-infrared wavelengths has been achieved by controlling silicon nanostructures.
