An investigation of the effect of metal nanoparticles on the optical properties of silicon nanocrystals

This thesis describes the characterization of two types of nanocrystalline material i.e. alkylated silicon nanocrystals (C11-SiNCs) and commercial silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs). The research presented throughout this work also shows that the optical properties of silicon nanocrystals can be affected...
