Characterization of porous silicon inhomogeneities by high spatial resolution infrared spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of infrared absorption spectra of porous silicon is performed on the basis of high spatial resolution measurements, where Si atoms of the porous silicon surface are found to bind to H, O, C atoms and to CH3 and OH groups.

Silicon quantum wire array fabrication by electrochemical and chemical dissolution of wafers

TL;DR: In this paper, free standing Si quantum wires can be fabricated without the use of epitaxial deposition or lithography using electrochemical and chemical dissolution steps to define networks of isolated wires out of bulk wafers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porous silicon formation: A quantum wire effect

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a two-dimensional quantum confinement (quantum wire) in the very narrow walls between the pores not only explains the change in band gap energy but also may also explain the dissolution mechanism that leads to porous silicon formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum size effects on photoluminescence in ultrafine Si particles

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Si microcrystallites were embedded in a Si oxide matrix for the sample which emitted the light, and the inverse relation between emission energy and the square of the crystallite size indicates that carrier confinement in the Si micro-crystallite causes this photoluminescence phenomenon.

The origin of visible luminescencefrom “porous silicon”: A new interpretation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the luminescence and vibrational properties of anodically oxidized (porous) silicon and of chemically synthesized siloxene (Si 6 O 3 H 6 ) and its derivates.

Visible electroluminescence from porous silicon

TL;DR: In this paper, photoluminescent porous Si (PS) layers exhibit visible electroluminescence (EL) when the forward current density reaches a certain value, stable visible (orange) light is uniformly emitted through a semitransparent electrode.
