Broadband enhancement of light emission in silicon slot waveguides [PDF]
We investigate the light emission properties of electrical dipole emitters inside 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) silicon slot waveguides and evaluate the spontaneous emission enhancement (F_p) and waveguide coupling ratio (β).

Optical properties and growth mechanism of rock-like structured black silicon
In this study, rock-like black silicon is prepared by using plasma enhanced hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (PE-HWCVD). The average grain sizes of polysilicon for 10-min, 20-min and 40-min growth time was about 12.4, 14.3 and 15.5 nm, respectively. As

Exceptional and Anisotropic Transport Properties of Photocarriers in Black Phosphorus
We show that black phosphorus has room-temperature charge mobilities on the order of 10$^4$ cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$, which are about one order of magnitude larger than silicon.
