Optical characterization of porous silicon doped with silver nanoparticles / Norasmawati Ismail

Porous silicon (PS) formed with different size of structures has interest due to its visible photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature. Besides PS with mesoscopic pores doped with the nanosize particles can display many unique properties. In the present work, the optical characterization of Porous...
