Fabrication and spectroscopic studies of low dimensional silicon

Abstract

Today, the word “Nano” is omnipresent and ubiquitous, while nanotechnology [1–5] has become benevolent to people of modern world unlike it was confined to a few in earlier days. The impact of nanoscience & nanotechnology is also evident from the discoveries of cryo electron microscopy , molecular machines, optical microscope and ground breaking experiment of Graphene for which scientists across the world namely, Jacques and Richard Henderson , Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa, Erich Betzig, Stefan W. Hall and William E. Moerner, Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov, won the Nobel prizes in recent years.
