The present article deals with the use of Si nanoclusters as efficient sensitizers towards Er 3+ or Nd 3+ ions. To take advantage from such an nc-mediated excitation, a maximum coupled rare-earth (RE) ions is sought through a careful engineering of the composition of the active material. For this pu

This article presents our comprehensive investigation of the crystallization of amorphous silicon ÿlms with a layer thickness below 20 nm from an experimental as well as from a theoretical point of view. The exponential scaling of the crystallization temperature with layer thickness is derived by us
## Abstract Er‐doped ZnO nano‐ and microstructures have been grown by thermal treating of compacted mixtures of ZnO and Er~2~O~3~ powders and their optical properties have been studied by cathodoluminescence (CL). Annealing the pressed samples leads to the growth of nanoneedles and nanoneedle netwo
