A review on electronic and optical properties of silicon nanowire and its different growth techniques

摘要: Electronic and optical properties of Silicon Nanowire (SiNW) obtained from theoretical studies experimental approaches have been reviewed. The diameter dependency bandgap effective mass SiNW for various terminations presented. Optical absorption nanocone has compared different angle incidences. shows greater with large range wavelength higher incidence. Reflectance is less than 5% over majority the spectrum UV to near IR region. Thereafter, a brief description growth techniques given. advantages disadvantages catalyst materials are discussed at length. Furthermore, three thermodynamic aspects via vapor–liquid–solid mechanism presented discussed.
