Apatite Nucleation on Low Porosity Silicon in Acellular Simulated Body Fluids
Leigh T. Canham,C L Reeves +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the response of a range of porous Si films to acellular simulated body fluids has been monitored by SEM, EDX and FTIR analyses, and quite low levels of porosity are shown to induce hydroxyapatite growth both on top of the film, and even on neighbouring areas of bulk Si, which in isolation have no such effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spectroscopy of Porous Silicon
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectroscopic evidence that the main visible photoluminescence (PL) band of porous silicon originates from quantum confined crystalline silicon is presented, and arguments that claim to invalidate this evidence are analysed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoporous Silicon as a Green, High-Tech Educational Tool.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe exceptional properties for nanostructured silicon like medical biodegradability and efficient light emission that open up new functionality for this semiconductor, including idea generation, intellectual property, and clinical translation of nanomaterial products.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Luminescence Mechanism of Porous Silicon
TL;DR: In this paper, resonantly excited photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of highly porous silicon is reported, where the authors observe satellite structure due to the participation of momentum-conserving phonons in the optical transitions.
