“…On another note, Si NPs have been successfully hyperdoped with a wide range of different elements including transitions metals, − Li, Au, and Er, − as well as group III − and group V ,,− ,,− elements. However, reports on impurity concentrations exceeding the thermodynamic limit in Si nanocrystals are very rare.…”

In the past decades, group IV nanowires and nanoparticles have been the subject of extensive research. Beside tremendous progress in morphological control and integration in advanced device architectures, research on allotropes and metastable compositions has gained considerable interest. Several new approaches now allow the controlled formation of specific allotropes in the nanostructured form as well as chemical compositions not attainable by traditional synthesis protocols. The conditions applied to form these metastable solid solutions and allotropes are usually far from thermodynamic equilibrium or rely on unconventional templates. The increased interest in the field of metastable group IV nanostructures arises from their altered physical properties, including tunable, direct bandgaps with energies equivalent to the near- to mid-infrared spectral region as described for materials such as Ge1–x Sn x and hexagonal Si1–x Ge x . The implementation of these material characteristics in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes are desirable for applications in electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, optics, etc. but also their use as nonsurface bound nanoparticles in sensing, nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine can offer additional opportunities. This review article highlights both the important advancements and still open questions for the continued development of these nanoscaled materials for next-generation device concepts.

“…However, the calculated band gap did not perfectly match the measured one due to the partially oxidized surface and substrate-cluster interaction. In addition to the marked effect of particle dimension 088102-9 on electric performance, [78,[98][99][100] the type of dopant (phosphorus or boron), [101] composition material, [102][103][104] surface functionalization [105] and post treatment [106] similarly manifest noticeable effects. For example, by comparing the electronic transport of Si NCs networks using films composed of P-doped Si-NCs with those using films consisting of Si NPs without doping elements, Stegner et al [101] found that the dopant can strongly influence the electronic transport properties of the films.…”
