dc.description.abstract | The morphological and optical properties of various silicon nanowire structures were
investigated. Photoluminescence was produced by all of the nanostructures and was
attributed to a variety of different mechanisms. Optical limiting capabilities were also demonstrated by the sihcon nanostructures in isopropanol dispersions. The observed optical limiting has a strong contribution from non-linear scattering. It is likely that the non-linear scattering arises due to plasmas, which are formed by laser induced breakdown of the nanostructure's silicon oxide outer shells. | |
