Effect of hydrofluoric acid concentration on the evolution of photoluminescence characteristics in porous silicon nanowires prepared by Ag-assisted electroless etching method

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and optical properties of porous silicon nanowires (PSiNWs) fabricated using silver ions assisted electroless etching method were investigated and the strongest photoluminescence (PL) signal has been measured from samples etched with 4.8 M of HF, beyond which a significant decreasing in PL emission intensity was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultra-low reflection porous silicon nanowires for solar cell applications

TL;DR: In this paper, high density vertically aligned Porous Silicon NanoWires (PSiNWs) were fabricated on silicon substrate using metal assisted chemical etching process and a linear dependency of nanowire length to the etching time was obtained and the change in the growth rate of the nano-wires by increasing etching durations was shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the phenomenon of large photoluminescence red shift in GaN nanoparticles

TL;DR: The results show that GaN NPs fabricated using the ultraviolet metal-assisted electroless etching method are promising for tunable-color-temperature white light-emitting diode applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porosity-induced relaxation of strains in GaN layers studied by means of micro-indentation and optical spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication of porous GaN nanostructures using UV-assisted electroless etching of bulk GaN layer grown on c-plane sapphire substrate in a solution consisting of HF:CH3OH:H2O2 was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wide‐Bandgap Organic–Inorganic Lead Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

TL;DR: In this article , the progress of wide-bandgap organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is summarized and the issues of phase segregation and voltage loss are assessed, and diverse applications of widebandgap PSCs in semitransparent devices, indoor photovoltaics, and various multijunction tandem devices are discussed and their challenges and perspectives are evaluated.
