Silicon & Silicon Nanostructures: From Recent Fundamental Research to Novel Applications: Proceedings of the 2017 E-MRS Fall Meeting, Symposium P

Abstract

This proceedings volume of physica status solidi (c) covers presentations given in Symposium P at the 2017 Spring-EMRS Meeting in Strasbourg, France.

Silicon and its nanostructures are a well-established material system that represents the backbone of modern electronics, optics, and photovoltaics. Despite widespread activities in fundamental and applied research, many physical aspects are still not understood in detail or are a matter of debate. Unravelling presently unknown properties of silicon by exploring the underlying phenomena in theory and experiment, both in the bulk and on the nanoscale, creates unique opportunities for enhanced performance or even novel applications in CMOS, PV, optics, and sensor applications.
