The Interplay of Quantum Confinement and Hydrogenation in Amorphous Silicon Quantum Dots

Hydrogenation in amorphous silicon quantum dots (QDs) has a dramatic impact on the corresponding optical properties and band energy structure, leading to a quantum‐confined composite material with unique characteristics. The synthesis of a‐Si:H QDs is demonstrated with an atmospheric‐pressure plasma...

description Hydrogenation in amorphous silicon quantum dots (QDs) has a dramatic impact on the corresponding optical properties and band energy structure, leading to a quantum‐confined composite material with unique characteristics. The synthesis of a‐Si:H QDs is demonstrated with an atmospheric‐pressure plasma process, which allows for accurate control of a highly chemically reactive non‐equilibrium environment with temperatures well below the crystallization temperature of Si QDs.
