Quantum confinement and interface structure of Si nanocrystals of sizes 3-5 nm embedded in a-SiO2
(2007)Spectroscopic ellipsometry and Monte Carlo simulations are employed to answer the fundamental question whether the energy gaps of Si nanocrystals with sizes in the range of 3-5 nm, which are embedded in amorphous silica, ...

Surface-related states in oxidized silicon nanocrystals enhance carrier relaxation and inhibit auger recombination
(2008)We have studied ultrafast carrier dynamics in oxidized silicon nanocrystals (NCs) and the role that surface-related states play in the various relaxation mechanisms over a broad range of photon excitation energy corresponding ...

Ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy of Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix
(2009)In this work, we present a comprehensive study of ultrafast transient photoinduced absorption of silicon nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in SiO2 matrix. The samples under investigation are single monolayers of Si-NCs embedded ...
