Great enhancement effect of 20-40 nm Ag NPs on solar-blind UV response of the mixed-phase MgZnO detector by Han, Shun, Xia, Hao, Lu, Youming, Hu, Sirong, Zhang, Dao Hua, Xu, Wangying, Fang, Ming, Liu, Wenjun, Cao, Peijiang, Zhu, Deliang

“…Ag NPs with different sizes could modulate the peak response position of the mixed-phase MgZnO detector from near UV range (350 nm) to deep UV range (235 nm), and the enhancement effect of the Ag NPs on the UV response differs much with the crystal structure and the basic UV response of the MgZnO thin film. …”

Optical and optoelectronic properties of Si nanocrystals embedded in dielectric matrix by Ding, Liang

“…Based on the knowledge of band structure of nc-Si obtained in this work, the size-dependent PL band could be attributed to the indirect band-to-band transition of the nc-Si assisted by the Si-O vibration at the interface of nc-Si/SiO2. Visible and near infrared (IR) electroluminescence (EL) has been observed from a metal–oxide–semiconductor-like (MOS-like) structure with nc-Si embedded in the gate oxide. …”
