Fluorescent Silicon Carbide Nanoparticles

چکیده
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an indirect wide band gap semiconductor that utilized in many industrial applications due to its extreme physical properties. SiC nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a versatile surface chemistry, fluoresce from the ultraviolet near-infrared spectral ranges, and their sizes can be tuned one hundreds of nanometers. Yet, fluorescent NPs have received far less attention by scientific community. This review summarizes state-of-the-art NPs. Nanoparticle fabrication methods, characterization techniques, nanoparticle fluorescence properties are assessed detail. Atomic defects impurities crystal lattice (so-called color centers), surface-induced fluorescence, quantum confinement, band-edge identified as main sources While centers reported bulk SiC, only few interface-related remain poorly understood, creating enormous potential for discovery. Finally, overview demonstrated emerging areas bioimaging sensing provided.

Silicon carbide microdisk resonator.
We demonstrate a silicon carbide (SiC) microdisk resonator with an intrinsic optical quality factor of 6.19×10(3), fabricated on the 3C-SiC-on-Si platform. We characterize the temperature dependence of the cavity resonance and obtain a thermo-optic coefficient of 2.92×10(-5)/K for 3C-SiC. Our simulations show that the device exhibits great potential for cavity optomechanical applications.
متن کاملSilicon Carbide Neutron Detectors
The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
