Direct measure of band edge optical absorption of silicon nanostructures using photothermal deflection spectroscopy
Quantum confined silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) are a promising material for optoelectronic applications. In this thesis, I studied the band edge optical absorption of free standing Si-NPs and Si-NPs in an amorphous silicon matrix, a composite material also known as nano-crystalline silicon …

Plasma Enhanced Layer-by-layer Deposition and Nano-crystallization of Si:H films
Nano-crystalline Si (nc-Si) is a promising candidate for photovoltaic applications due to its better stability compared to amorphous Si, and relatively easy to manufacture at low cost, by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), compared to single crystal Si. The crystalline volume …
