Functionalized silicon nanocrystals
BackgroundSilicon (Si) is an extraordinarily useful semiconductor, employed in integrated circuits, solar cells, and photodetectors; however, it exhibits no significant luminescence at room temperature because of its indirect band gap. Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs), or quantum dots, on the other hand can be efficient light emitters, with emission wavelength...
