Unary nanoscale metallic fuels such as Al, Ti, Mg, Zr, and B with an oxidizer have been massively explored in reactive energetic formulations commonly used in explosives and propellants owing to their high combustion energy. While Al has routinely been preferred, its low melting point and the resultant sintering effects curtail the reaction...

A thorough study of the phosphorus (P) heavy doping of thin Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) layers by UV nanosecond Laser Thermal Annealing (LTA) is presented in this work. As a function of the implant dose and laser annealing conditions, the melting regimes and regrowth processes, as well as the redistribution and activation of P in the top-Si...

We present the experimental realization of ordered arrays of hyper-doped silicon nanodisks, which exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance. The plasmon is widely tunable in a spectral window between 2 and 5 $\mu$m by adjusting the free carrier concentration between 10$^{20}$ and 10$^{21}$ cm$^{-3}$. We show that strong infrared light...
