Objective
The research project aims at understanding and predicting changes in behavior and properties of silicon clusters compared to those of the bulk. The applicant will investigate fast and ultra-fast relaxation processes of pure and stabilized clusters and intend to employ electronic, nano-second and femto-second spectroscopies.
Allthough the expected results are upstream of any concrete application, they will allow to decide whether the theoretically expected opto-electronics using tiny silicon structures will be possible in the future. As silicon is still the preferred material of the semiconductor industry, many and multi-fold applications can be foreseen.
