Article Synopsis
- Researchers have focused on the unique properties of silicon nanoparticles, particularly their permanent electric dipole moments, primarily in small silicon nanoclusters (SiNCs) around 1-2 nanometers in size.
- This study investigates whether plasma conditions can create larger silicon clusters (superclusters) with stronger dipole moments using a pulsed plasma method for SiNC production.
- The findings showed that 1-2 nm SiNCs can form larger superclusters, which have high dipole moments, enabling their orientation and manipulation with external electric fields for advanced nanostructure applications.
