Ab initio study of hydrogenic effective mass impurities in Si nanowires
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-01)The effect of B and P dopants on the band structure of Si nanowires is studied using electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory. At low concentrations a dispersionless band is formed, clearly ... -
Ab initio temperature dependent studies of the homoepitaxial growth on Si(0 0 1) surface
(2001)We performed ab initio zero temperature and finite temperature molecular dynamics calculations to investigate the homoepitaxial growth on the Si(0 0 1) surface. How do the deposited atoms (adatoms) form addimers and how ... -
Adsorption of group IV elements on graphene, silicene, germanene and stanene: dumbbell formation
(ACS Publications, 2014-12-09)Silicene and germanene derivatives constructed from periodic dumbbell units play a crucial role in multilayers of these honeycomb structures. Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, here we ... -
Automated parallel high-speed atomic force microscopy
(A I P Publishing LLC, 1998-05-04)An expandable system has been developed to operate multiple probes for the atomic force microscope in parallel at high speeds. The combined improvements from parallelism and enhanced tip speed in this system represent an ... -
Broadband quarter-wave plates at near-infrared using high-contrast gratings
(2013)In this paper, we report the theoretical and experimental possibility of achieving a quarter-wave plate regime by using high-contrast gratings, which are binary, vertical, periodic, near-wavelength, and two-dimensional ... -
Buried waveguides written deep inside silicon
(OSA, 2017)Summary form only given. Silicon waveguides are widely used as optical interconnects and they are particularly important for Si-photonics. Si-based devices, along with other optical elements, are entirely fabricated on the ... -
Charge Trapping Memory with 2.85-nm Si-Nanoparticles Embedded in HfO2

Chemical and topographical modification of PHBV surface to promote osteoblast alignment and confinement
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008)Proper cell attachment and distribution, and thus stronger association in vivo between a bone implant and native tissue will improve the success of the implant. In this study, the aim was to achieve promotion of attachment ... -
Chemically specific dynamic characterization of photovoltaic and photoconductivity effects of surface nanostructures
(American Chemical Society, 2010)We report characterization of photovoltaic and photoconductivity effects on nanostructured surfaces through light induced changes in the X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The technique combines the chemical specificity ... -
Communication: Enhancement of dopant dependent x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy peak shifts of Si by surface photovoltage
(2011)Binding energies measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are influenced by doping, since electrons are transferred to (p-type) and from (n-type) samples when they are introduced into the spectrometer, or brought ... -
Comparative study of thin film n-i-p a-Si: H solar cells to investigate the effect of absorber layer thickness on the plasmonic enhancement using gold nanoparticles

Comparison of fully three-dimensional optical, normally conducting, and superconducting interconnections
(Optical Society of America, 1999-12-10)Several approaches to three-dimensional integration of conventional electronic circuits have been pursued recently. To determine whether the advantages of optical interconnections are negated by these advances, we compare ... -
