Silicon nanoparticles show promise to enable efficient light emitting devices, for a variety of applications including communications, all-optical computing, and illumination. Silicon is a very poor emitter of light, however by creating structures with nanometer-scale dimensions we can foster behaviour not found in the bulk material, including efficient emission of light. I propose research which will advance our ability to make silicon nanoparticles, to integrate them into functioning optoelectronic devices, and to understand the underlying physics.

硅纳米颗粒显示出使高效发光器件成为可能的前景，用于各种应用，包括通信、全光计算和照明。硅是一种非常差的光发射体，然而，通过创建具有纳米尺度尺寸的结构，我们可以促进在大块材料中没有发现的行为，包括有效的光发射。我提出的研究将提高我们制造硅纳米粒子的能力，将它们集成到功能性光电器件中，并了解潜在的物理学。
