      Syväjärvi, Mikael; Ma, Quanbao; Jokubavicius, Valdas; Galeckas, Augustinas; Sun, Jianwu; Liu, Xinyu; Jansson, Mattias; Wellmann, Peter; Linnarsson, Margareta; Runde, Paal; Johansen, Bertil; Thøgersen, Annett; Diplas, Spyridon; Carvalho, Patricia; Løvvik, Ole Martin; Wright, Daniel Nilsen; Azarov, Alexander; Svensson, Bengt Gunnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      In this work we present a significant advancement in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) growth in terms of crystal quality and domain size, and indicate its potential use in photovoltaics. To date, the use of 3C-SiC for ...
    • Selective etching of nanostructured a-Si:Al and its effect on porosity, Al gradient and surface oxidation 

      Kjeldstad, Torunn; Thøgersen, Annett; Stange, Marit Synnøve Sæverud; Jensen, Ingvild Julie Thue; Nilsen, Ola; Galeckas, Augustinas; Monakhov, Eduard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Nanoporous amorphous silicon (a-Si) with <5 nm cylindrical pores have been fabricated by phase separation of aluminum (Al) and silicon, forming self-assembled Al nanowires (NWs), followed by subsequent removal of Al by wet ...
    • Surface effects and optical properties of self-assembled nanostructured a-Si:Al 

      Kjeldstad, Torunn; Thøgersen, Annett; Stange, Marit Synnøve Sæverud; Jensen, Ingvild Julie Thue; Monakhov, Eduard; Galeckas, Augustinas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We present a study of the surface effects and optical properties of the self-assembled nanostructures comprised of vertically aligned 5 nm-diameter Al nanowires embedded in an amorphous Si matrix (a-Si:Al). The controlled ...
