Silicon

Silicon, the most important semiconductor material, plays an important role in the field of the nanomaterials such as the one that plays in the area of microelectronics materials. Silicon-based photo-electric integration is one of the highlights of modern science research. Crystal silicon is an indirect band material, and its light emission efficiency at room temperature is very low. Recently, one-dimensional silicon nanomaterials had been prepared successfully by many methods, stimulating intensive interest. Silicon nanowires are particularly interesting because they are expected to exhibit unusual confinement effects on electrical and optical properties due to its low dimension and high surface-to-volume ratio and fulfill the technology requirements for integration.
