      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 ...
    • Oxygen passivation as effective technique for tailoring the nature of band gap of silicon nanowires 

      Hassan, Walid M.I.; Khader, Mahmoud M.; Verma, Amit; Nekovei, Reza; Anantram, M. P. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) , 2015 , Conference Paper)
      Silicon nanowires have been subjected to several experiential and theoretical studies, including chemical tuning with different substituents aiming to tailor the band gap as well as increasing optical absorption efficiency ...
