title: Micro-emulsion synthesis of monodisperse surface stabilized silicon nanocrystals.
abstract: Silicon nanocrystals with a uniform size distribution were synthesized in inverse micelles using powerful hydride reducing agents. The silicon nanocrystals surfaces were then stabilized with 1-heptene to produce particles with strong blue photoluminescence.
