a technique to produce ceramic materials starting from liquid solution or colloidal particles through a polimerization reaction.
Nanoscience Lab, in collaboration with the Material Science Engineering Dept. of Univ. of Trento (Prof. Sorarù), exploit sol-gel technique to synthesize highly luminescent silicon based nanoparticles in silicon oxycarbide matrices.
Selected experimental results are listed below:
Nucleation of highly luminescent Si-nc directly into silicon oxide matrix;
Formation of luminescent Silicon carbide nanocrystals in oxide matrix;
