One-pot synthesis of luminescent hydrophilic silicon nanocrystals

Abstract

A facile one-pot method of femtosecond laser ablation in solution to synthesize hydrophilic silicon nanocrystals is presented in this communication. These silicon nanoscrystals emit colorful photoluminescence when excited at different wavelengths. This simple method has potential applications in the preparation of luminescent silicon nanocrystals passivated with different organic molecules.
