Sensitivity response to coating material thickness for an optical resonant reflective biosensor based on a guided mode resonance filter
Sensitivity is a very important parameter for biosensor applications. We have numerically and experimentally studied the sensitivity and linewidth responses of optical resonant reflective biosensors to the thi...

Open AccessEnhancement in electron transport and light emission efficiency of a Si nanocrystal light-emitting diode by a SiCN/SiC superlattice structure
We report an enhancement in light emission efficiency of Si nanocrystal (NC) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by employing 5.5 periods of SiCN/SiC superlattices (SLs). SiCN and SiC layers in SiCN/SiC SLs were desi...

Open AccessIn situ-grown hexagonal silicon nanocrystals in silicon carbide-based films
Silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) were grown in situ in carbide-based film using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicates that these nanocrystalli...

Surface Characterization of GaN Formation on GaAs(100) Using Ammonia
The GaN formation on GaAs(100) using NH3 has been investigated using synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy and an atomic force microscope (AFM). This study showed the effect of nitridation temperatu...
