The synthesis of Si 3N 4 nanowires from the reaction of silicon nanoparticles with N 2 in the 1200-1440°C temperature range is reported. The nitridation conditions are such that the reaction with nitrogen is favoured by ...

Polymorphous Si is a nanostructured form of hydrogenated amorphous Si that contains a small fraction of Si nanocrystals or clusters. Its thermally induced transformations such as relaxation, dehydrogenation, and crystallization ...
