TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the exact shape of the microcrystal and the relationship between the width, shift and asymmetry of the Raman line is calculated and is in good agreement with available experimental data.

TL;DR: The photoluminescence (PL) of silicon quantum dots present in porous silicon can be tuned from the near infrared to the ultraviolet when the surface is passivated with Si-H bonds as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the successful integration of silicon-based visible light-emitting devices into a standard bipolar microelectronic circuit by exploiting the thermal and chemical stability of porous silicon.

TL;DR: The development of an ultrathin porous nanocrystalline silicon (pnc-Si) membrane is reported using straightforward silicon fabrication techniques that provide control over average pore sizes from approximately 5 nm to 25’nm, expected to enable a variety of new devices, including membrane-based chromatography systems and both analytical and preparative microfluidic systems that require highly efficient separations.

TL;DR: An ultrasensitive two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity biosensor that can detect a molecule monolayer with a total mass as small as 2.5 fg and measure the redshift corresponding to the binding of glutaraldehyde and bovine serum albumin is demonstrated.
