Nanosilicon

Properties of nanosilicon in the form of nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, and as porous material are of great interest. They can be used in the future and can be used in the future. Possibilities of novel optoelectronic applications for bright luminescence from porous silicon, nanoparticles and nanowires. New findings from nanotechnology and nanotubes in nanoscience and nanotubes have a large scale of nanoscience and nanoparticles. There are possibilities of using a silicon laser.

In this book the experts advised in the different forms of nanosilicon. Furthermore, applications of nanosilicon are single electron transistors, as photonic material, chemical and biological sensors, and molecular silicon nanowire devices are also discussed. Self-assemblies of silicon nanoforms are important for applications. These developments are also related to cage structures of silicon in clathrates. With an interesting focus on the bottlenecks in the advancement of silicon, this book provides a much-needed overview of the current state of understanding of nanosilicon research.
