Abstract

Silicon nitride nanocrystals (NCs) have been prepared via in situ nitridation of magnesium followed by a metathesis reaction with sol-gel derived silica particles. Highly luminescent, freestanding β-Si(3)N(4) NCs with complex surface chemistry dominated by Si-H and N-H moieties were isolated upon etching with hydrofluoric acid.
