Ionization-induced optical heterogeneity and ion-like direct emission in 1-nm silicon nanoparticle grains: Prospect for fast optical modulation

Silicon, a highly symmetric and homogeneous material, does not exhibit fast optical modulation. Recent classical electrodynamics simulations, however, demonstrated transient optical heterogeneity in silicon nanostructures, in which a high-density of excitonic electron–hole pair plasma and charge is...
