Description
Springer Device Applications Of Silicon Nanocrystals And Nanostructures (Nanostructure Science And Technology) by Koshida Nobuyoshi
Recent Developments In The Technology Of Silicon Nanocrystals And Silicon Nanostructures Where Quantum-Size Effects Are Important Are Systematically Described Including Examples Of Device Applications. Due To The Strong Quantum Confinement Effect The Material Properties Are Freed From The Usual Indirect- Or Direct-Bandgap Regime And The Optical Electrical Thermal And Chemical Properties Of These Nanocrystalline And Nanostructured Semiconductors Are Drastically Changed From Those Of Bulk Silicon. In Addition To Efficient Visible Luminescence Various Other Useful Material Functions Are Induced In Nanocrystalline Silicon And Periodic Silicon Nanostructures. Some Novel Devices And Applications In Fields Such As Photonics (Electroluminescence Diode Microcavity And Waveguide) Electronics (Single-Electron Device Spin Transistor Nonvolatile Memory And Ballistic Electron Emitter) Acoustics And Biology Have Been Developed By The Use Of These Quantum-Induced Functions In Ways Different From The Conventional Scaling Principle For Ulsi.Show More
