400-900 nm Light Emitting Silicon Nanoparticles

Liptak R.W., Pi X.D., Kortshagen U., Campbell S.A., University of Minnesota, US

A novel process has been developed to create an aerosol of passivated silicon nanoparticles that emit controlled colors from blue to the near IR. The emission is stable in air. This is the first ever [...]

Electroluminescence from Surface Oxidized Silicon Nanoparticles Randomly Dispersed within a Polymer Matrix

Ligman R.K., Mangolini L., Kortshagen U., Campbell S.A., University of Minnesota, US

For the first time we have demonstrated hybrid silicon organic light emitting diodes. This process uses particles created in a nonthermal silane plasma which are treated by photo oxidation to passivate the surface. Particles were [...]

N-channel Single Crystal Si Nanoparticle Schottky Barrier Transistor

Song S.H., Ding Y., Kortshagen U., Bapat A., Campbell S.A., University of Minnesota, US

A novel process has been developed by when large (~40 nm) cubic single crystals of silicon can be produced at high rates. In a previous paper we demonstrated that these particles can be used to [...]
