Silicon is important in plant and animal life. Diatoms in both fresh and salt water extract silica from ... Hydrolysis and condensation of substituted chlorosilanes can be used to produce a very great number of polymeric products, or silicones. These range from liquids to hard, glasslike solids with many useful properties.

Abstract. We have theoretically studied the influence of the nanostructure cladding materials on the phonon thermal conduction in the Si-based planar heterostructures and rectangular hetero-nanowires. The phonon energy spectra were obtained in the framework ... N D Zincenco et al 2007 J. ... ; 1 Department of Theoretical Physics,

The effect of density and surface roughness on the optical properties of silicon carbide optical components is investigated. The density is the major factor of the total reflectance while the surface roughness is the major factor of the diffuse reflectance.

In this paper we discuss the role of local fields in the optical properties of silicon nanocrystals. Using a semiempirical tight binding approach, local field effects are included into the linear response theory, going beyond the standard independent particle approximation.

The paper reports on the synthesis and structural characterization of amorphous silicon oxide nanowires (SiONWs). The nanowires were prepared using the solid-liquid-solid (SLS) technique and display an average mean diameter in the range of 20-150 nm and 15-20 ìm in length.
