Abstract
Synthesis and some interesting properties of amorphous silicon-based superlattices are reported. Both quantum-well type and doping modulated structures are studied. Quantum confinement, phonon folding and persistent photoconductivity are some of the fascinating effects which are described and their current interpretations discussed.
