Description
Summary:A comprehensive review, including some recent results, of the structures, properties and fabrication methods of inorganic and organic silicon-based materials with backbone dimensions from 0 to 3 is presented. Quantum effects in low-dimensional silicon structures are discussed using organosilicon materials, such as polyhedral compounds and oligosilanes (quantum dots), polysilanes (quantum wires), heterocopolymers (one-dimensional superlattices), and polysilynes (quantum planes). The luminous properties of silicon-based materials are also summarized.
