Fuctionalization of single silicon nanocrystals by connecting with multiwalled carbon nanotubes Available to Purchase

Two approaches to connect single silicon nanocrystals (Si‐nc) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are studied. The first consists of direct growth of the MWCNTs in tapered element oscillating microbalance by chemical vapour deposition process on coated Si‐nc with iron based catalyst. The second procedure, at room temperature connects and introduces dispersed Si‐nc (2– 5 nm) in colloidal suspension of spin on glass by capillary forces.
