SiO1.2/SiO2 multilayers were grown on n-type (100) Si wafers by ion beam sputtering and subsequently annealed at 1100 °C to form SiO2-embedded Si (S-Si) nanocrystals (NCs). The SiO2 matrix was then removed from S-Si NCs by chemical treatments to prepare freestanding Si (F-Si) NCs. The photoluminescence (PL) peak of F-…

Charge sensitivity analysis was originally introduced in the trivial-atom resolution. Here, we extend this resolution into force-field atoms. The AMBERff99 force-field resolution was employed. The effective electronegativities and hardnesses were derived for five different population analyses (Mulliken, Hirschfeld, AI…

A new technique is developed to fabricate biomimetic antireflection coatings (ARCs). This technique combines a bottom-up fabrication approach (glancing angle deposition, or GLAD) with a top-down engineering process (ion milling). The GLAD technique is first utilized to produce nanopillar arrays (NPAs) with broadened s…
