Amorphous silicon films prepared by electron beam evaporation have systematically and substantially greater atomic density for higher thickness, higher growth temperature, and slower deposition rate, reaching the density of crystalline Si…
Specific heat measurements of hydrogenated amorphous silicon prepared by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition show a large density of two-level systems at low temperature. Annealing at 200 {\deg}C, well below the growth temperature, does not…
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon microspheres feature a pronounced phononic peak around 2000 cm-1 when they are thermally excited by means of a blue laser. This phononic signature corresponds to vibrational modes of silicon-hydrogen bonds and…
The evolution in the surface morphology of epitaxial graphene films and 6H-SiC(0001) substrates is studied by electron channeling contrast imaging. Whereas film thickness is determined by growth temperature only, increasing growth times at…
Amorphous hydrogenated silicon nitride ($\textit{a}$-SiN$_\mathrm{\textit{x}}$:H) thin films irradiated with 100 MeV Ni$^{7+}$ results in the formation of continuous ion track structures at the lower fluence of $5\times{10^{12}}$…
Nearly two-orders of magnitude increase in room-temperature band-to-band (1.067 eV) infrared emission from crystalline silicon, coated with erbium-doped sol-gel films, have been achieved. Phonon-assisted band-to-band emission from coated…
When the sulfur element is hyperdoped into crystalline silicon to a supersaturated density of 1020 cm-3, it can enhance the sub-bandgap light absorption of silicon from 0 to 70%, with the antireflection of surface dome structures. On the…
Laboratory measurements of unpolarized and polarized absorption spectra of various samples and crystal stuctures of silicon carbide (SiC) are presented from 1200--35,000 cm$^{-1}$ ($\lambda \sim$ 8--0.28 $\mu$m) and used to improve the…
We present the first results of a high-spectral-resolution survey of the carbon-rich evolved star IRC+10216 that was carried out with the HIFI spectrometer onboard Herschel. This survey covers all HIFI bands, with a spectral range from 488…
In the paper, the processes occurring during low-temperature growth of non-hydrogenated amorphous Si and polycrystalline Si films on multilayer Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/c-Si substrates from molecular beams under conditions of ultrahigh vacuum…
Tin-containing nanocrystals, embedded in silicon, have been fabricated by growing an epitaxial layer of Si_{1-x-y}Sn_{x}C_{y}, where x = 1.6 % and y = 0.04 %, followed by annealing at various temperatures ranging from 650 to 900 degrees C.…
We deposit intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films by reactive pulsed laser deposition, for various hydrogen pressures in the 0-20 Pa range, at a low deposition temperature of 120C, and investigate the hydrogen…
The thermally-induced structural evolution of silicon- and oxygen-containing hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H:Si:O) was investigated by X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopy, as well as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The…
We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Bi(111) thin films grown on Si(111), and investigated the evolution of band structure with temperature. We revealed an unexpectedly large temperature variation of the energy…
Samples of amorphous MgSiO_3 annealed at temperature steps leading up to their crystallisation temperature show a rise in photoluminescence activity, peaking at ~450C. The photoluminescence band has a main peak at 595nm and a weaker peak at…
Systematic studies of the gradual fabrication by means of carbon ion-implantation of high-quality 6H-SiC layers on silicon surfaces have been carried out. The fluence of carbon ions varied from 5*10^15 cm-2 to 10^17 cm-2. Results of…
We have studied the effects of oxygen on hydrogenated amorphous/crystalline silicon films in terms of their structural and optical properties. Different hydrogenated silicon oxide (SiO:H) and silicon (Si:H) films are fabricated between…
Amorphous silicon materials and its alloys become extensively used in some technical applications involving large area of the microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the amorphous-crystalline transition, segregation and…
We have fabricated highly-luminescent samples with erbium-doped amorphous silicon sub-oxide (a-SiOx<Er>) layers on SiO2/Si substrates. The layers are designed to provide a resonance with large modal overlap with the active material and with…
We present direct imaging measurements of charge transport across a 1 cm$\times$ 1 cm$\times$ 4 mm crystal of high purity silicon ($\sim$20 k$\Omega$cm) at temperatures between 500 mK and and 5 K. We use these data to determine the…
