Hot-wire chemical vapour deposition of nanocrystalline silicon and silicon nitride : growth mechanisms and filament stability
Oliphant, Clive Justin (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) is an interesting type of silicon with superior electrical properties that are more stable compared to amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). Silicon nitride (SiNₓ) thin films are currently the ... -
Silicon nanowires by metal-assisted chemical etching and its incorporation into hybrid solar cells
Khanyile, Sfiso Zwelisha (University of Western Cape, 2021)The rapid increase in global energy demand in recent decades coupled with the adverse environmental impact of conventional fuels has led to a high demand for alternative energy sources that are sustainable and efficient. ...
