Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon quantum wire array fabrication by electrochemical and chemical dissolution of wafers
TL;DR: In this paper, free standing Si quantum wires can be fabricated without the use of epitaxial deposition or lithography using electrochemical and chemical dissolution steps to define networks of isolated wires out of bulk wafers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structural and luminescence properties of porous silicon
TL;DR: A large amount of work world wide has been directed towards obtaining an understanding of the fundamental characteristics of porous Si as mentioned in this paper, and the key importance of crystalline Si nanostructures in determining the behaviour of porous si is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible light emission due to quantum size effects in highly porous crystalline silicon
A. G. Cullis,Leigh T. Canham +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the porous layers that emit red light under photoexcitation was revealed, which constitutes direct evidence that highly porous silicon contains quantum-size crystalline structures responsible for the visible emission.
Book
