TL;DR: Primary ion mass spectrometry was used to characterize the Au catalyst concentration within individual, VLS-grown, Si wires and an upper limit on the bulk Au concentration was observed to be 1.7 x 10(16) atoms/cm(3), similar to the thermodynamic equilibrium concentration at the growth temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, oriented, crystalline Si wires are transferred into flexible, transparent polymer films to achieve high solar energy-conversion efficiencies using modest diffusion length, readily grown, crystaline Si in a flexible, processable form.

TL;DR: Differential capacitance vs potential and current density vs potential measurements have been used to characterize the interfacial energetics and kinetics, respectively, of n-type Si electrodes in contact with a series of one-electron, outer-sphere redox couples.

TL;DR: In this paper, a photoluminescence (PL) blueshift was observed in SiO2-embedded silicon nanocrystals with an initial diameters of 2.9-3.4 nm.

TL;DR: In this article, the mean response intensity of a carbon black-polymer composite electronic nose array was collected during exposure to homologous series of alkanes and alcohols. But the results were not consistent with the hypothesis that the odor detection thresholds observed in human psychophysical experiments for the odorants studied herein are driven predominantly by the similarity in odorant concentrations sorbed into the olfactory epithelium at a constant fraction of the odorant's vapor pressure.
