Enhancement of Silicon Photon Emission with Nanostructure Array

Li J.L., Kuan C.H., Peng Y.H., Lo H-C, Chen L-C, National Taiwan University, TW

Initiated by the high photon-emission nature of the porous silicon materials and the light transmission enhancement characteristics of the photonic crystals, the research of silicon Raman scattering of array nanostructures built by the electron beam [...]

XPS Studies of Silicon Nanoclusters/Nanocrystals Embedded in SiO2 Matrix

Chen T.P., Liu Y., Nanyang Technological University, SG

In this work, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to study the annealing effects on the chemical structures, depth profiling of the chemical states and core-level shifts of the Si nanocrystals in the Si-implanted SiO2 [...]

Antimicrobial Fabrics Coated with Nano-Sized Silver Salt Crystals

Tessier D., Radu I., Filteau M., Center for Textile Technologies, CA

Antimicrobial fabrics find many technical applications in medical, hygiene, protection, sport, and industrial markets. However, antimicrobial fabrics differ in biocidal performance and durability. For example, such fabrics are used in wound dressings or bio-hazard protective [...]
