  1. For Si quantum dots to realize their potential as novel opto-electronic materials, effective surface passivation is critical. Gas phase passivation with an alkene (styrene) and alkyne (acetylene) gives significantly higher surface coverage and resistance to oxidation than either alone. This occurs because the two molecules interact with different sites on the silicon surface. This observation provides a new paradigm for Si nanostructure passivation based on using a mixture of surface ligands with specific site selectivity.
