Development and characterization of PECVD grown silicon nanowires for thin film photovoltaics

Nanowires are high aspect ratio nanostructures with structural diameters on the order of nanometers to hundreds of nanometers. In this work, the optical properties of highly crystalline silicon nanowires grown by the Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) method surrounded by a thin silicon shell are investigate...
