Abstract
We report on investigations of silicon nanocrystals (Si-ncs) surface engineering and subsequent
integrations into sub-micrometer structures induced by nanosecond laser processing in water. We
present that easy and low-cost methods through nanosecond laser processing in water allow of Si-ncs
integration self-assemblies ranging several micrometers and sub-micron spherical particles. Room
temperature photoluminescent properties were preserved in these particles.
