Silicon Nanocrystals

"This unique collection of knowledge represents a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental and practical consequences of size reduction in silicon crystals. This clearly structured reference introduces readers to optical, electrical and thermal properties of silicon nanocrystals that arise from their greatly reduced dimensions. . . a major part of the text is devoted to applications in microelectronics as well as photonics and nanobiotechnology, making this of great interest to the high-tech industry."
