چکیده
Pores in single crystalline semiconductors come in many forms (e.g., pore sizes from 2 nm to > 10 μm; morphologies from perfect pore crystal to fractal) and exhibit many unique properties directly or as nanocompounds if the pores are filled. The various kinds of pores obtained in semiconductors like Ge, Si, III-V, and II-VI compound semiconductors are systematically reviewed, emphasizing macropores. Essentials of pore formation mechanisms will be discussed, focusing on differences and some open questions but in particular on common properties. Possible applications of porous semiconductors, including for example high explosives, high efficiency electrodes for Li ion batteries, drug delivery systems, solar cells, thermoelectric elements and many novel electronic, optical or sensor devices, will be introduced and discussed.

Macroporous materials electrochemically grown photonic crystals
Colloidal crystallization has been explored for several years as a fabrication method for photonic crystals. While macroporous materials grown with silica or polymer colloids might exhibit pleasing opalescence, truly novel photonic behavior such as photonic band-gaps, is expected only for very high index of refraction contrast systems. This can possibly be achieved through electrodeposition of ...
متن کاملEvaluating Commercial Macroporous Resin (D201) for Uranium Uptake in Static and Dynamic Fixed Bed Ion Exchange Column
As part of the development of equipment and innovative technology for the process flow-sheet, a study on the selection of good resin for uranium uptake is ongoing. Both static and dynamic column equilibrium testing upon synthetic and Gattar pregnant leach solutions (PLS) were carried out to estimate the change of total capacity and breakthrough capacity of the commercial macroporous anion excha...
متن کاملAnisotropic enhanced backscattering induced by anisotropic diffusion.
The enhanced backscattering cone displaying a strong anisotropy from a material with anisotropic diffusion is reported. The constructive interference of the wave is preserved in the helicity preserving polarization channel and completely lost in the nonpreserving one. The internal reflectivity at the interface modifies the width of the backscatter cone. The reflectivity coefficient is measured ...
متن کاملMacroporous interconnected dextran scaffolds of controlled porosity for tissue-engineering applications.
Dextran hydrogels have been studied as drug delivery vehicles but not as scaffolds for tissue-engineering likely because previously synthesized dextran hydrogels had pores too small for cell penetration. Our goal was to create macroporous, interconnected dextran scaffolds. To this end, we took advantage of the liquid-liquid immiscibility of poly(ethylene glycol) and methacrylated dextran during...
متن کاملMacroporous biphasic calcium phosphate scaffold with high permeability/porosity ratio.
Macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) with channel-shaped pores was produced by a novel dual-phase mixing method. The processing route includes mixing water-based BCP slurry and polymethylmethacrylate resin; shaping in a mold; and polymerization, drying, pyrolyzing, and sintering. After comparison with two other commercial macroporous BCP materials, which were produced along different ro...
