... conditions for the formation of a prismatic loop of misfit dislocation around the core are discussed in detail. Some preliminary results of theoretical modeling of rectangular prismatic misfit dislocation loops in the shell of a core–shell nanoparticle are also briefly reported. The general conclusion...

... Si films. Optical modeling captured the absorption behavior of NP embedded a-Si thin films, thus suggesting an efficient route to design new photo-absorber NPs for future Si based PV devices. Figure 3 (a) Cross-sectional bright field (BF) image of NiSi2 nanoparticle embedded in a-Si from NS5-1...
