This unique collection of knowledge represents a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental and practical consequences of size reduction in silicon crystals. This clearly structured reference introduces readers to the optical, electrical and thermal properties of silicon nanocrystals that arise from their greatly reduced dimensions. It covers their synthesis and characterization from both chemical and physical viewpoints, including ion implantation, colloidal synthesis and vapor deposition methods. A major part of the text is devoted to applications in microelectronics as well as photonics and nanobiotechnology, making this of great interest to the high-tech industry.
This book will provide readers with a good overview of some of most recent advances in the field of High-Z materials. There will be a good mixture of general chapters in both technology and applications in opto-electronics, X-ray detection and emerging optoelectronics applications. The book will have an in-depth review of the research topics from world-leading specialists in the field.
Today, the silicon feedstock for photovoltaic cells comes from processes which were originally developed for the microelectronic industry. It covers almost 90% of the photovoltaic market, with mass production volume at least one order of magnitude larger than those devoted to microelectronics. However, it is hard to imagine that this kind of feedstock (extremely pure but heavily penalized by its high energy cost) could remain the only source of silicon for a photovoltaic market which is in continuous expansion, and which has a cumulative growth rate in excess of 30% in the last few years. Even though reports suggest that the silicon share will slowly decrease in the next twenty years, findin...
This volume provides a balanced and in-depth review of the modern approaches to some of the challenges faced by industrialists and academics seeking cost effective and environmentally sound catalysts.
This book focuses on advances in materials science and device applications of nanostructures composed of Si, Ge, diamond, SiGe and SiCGe. Continuous progress in the development of reproducibly grown quantum dots, wires and wells has produced a new class of functional materials and devices with characteristic dimensions less than 50nm. The broad spectrum of these devices ranges from commercially offered high-mobility transistors using strained Si to exploratory SiGe nanostructures for integrated optical interconnects and THz lasers. This book brings together researchers from chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and engineering to share and discuss both the challenges and progress towards a new generation of Si(SiGe, SiCGe)-based novel functional structures and devices. Topics include: light emission and photonic devices; Ge, SiGe and diamond nanostructures; strains, Si/Ge films and layers and Si nanocrystals.
