• Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap 

      Hassan, Walid M.I.; Verma, Amit; Nekovei, Reza; Khader, Mahmoud M.; Anantram, M. P. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ...
    • Modeling of dual-metal Schottky contacts based silicon micro and nano wire solar cells 

      Rabbani, M. Golam; Verma, Amit; Adachi, Michael M.; Sundararajan, Jency P.; Khader, Mahmoud M.; ... more authors ( Elsevier B.V. , 2014 , Article)
      We study solar cell properties of single silicon wires connected at their ends to two dissimilar metals of different work functions. Effects of wire dimensions, the work functions of the metals, and minority carrier lifetimes ...
