Nanoparticles: Silicon [Si]
 |
| emission of red light occurs when silicon nanoparticles are excited with ultraviolet light |
Applied Nanotech has invented a process to create nanoparticles of porous silicon and silicon quantum dots, US Patent 7531155 "Method of producing silicon nanoparticles from stain-etched silicon powder". This method is readily scalable. Please contact ANI if you have high volume need of these materials.
