Silicon sees the light
Article Abstract:
Thin alternate layers of silicon and silicon dioxide form a shiny optoelectronic material which can emit light. Silicon chips, used in electronic devices, emit light and control photons inefficiently. The new material may allow the use of silicon-based devices grown on silicon in optoelectronics. Growing of gallium and arsenide on silicon is difficult and has necessitated the use of hybrid techniques.
