Over the past few years semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted an increasing amount of interest for two main reasons. First of all, the sizes of these objects...

Nanostructured silicon carbide (SiC) is considered today as a good alternative to the conventional materials for various multidisciplinary applications. In this...

The size reduction of metals, from bulk to nanoparticles, induces significant modifications of their properties. For instance, the optical properties evolve and a new...

This work focuses on the synthesis of thin films composed of silicon nanoparticles (np- Si) embedded in a dielectric matrix for application as an active layer for the...
