ABSTRACTThe visible photoluminescence of electrochemically etched silicon wafers is studied by cw- and pulsed-laser excitation. Raman data and infrared transmission measurements on the same samples prove the presence of oxygen and hydrogen in different bonding configurations in the luminescent layers. Identical optical properties are found for chemically synthesized siloxene (Si6O3H6) and its derivates. We present evidence that the origin of the strong room temperature luminescence in “porous” silicon can be traced to siloxene derivates present in the samples.

Abstract In this study, porous silicon (PSi) was used to manufacture gas sensors for acetone and ethanol. Samples of PSi were successfully prepared by photoelectrochemical etching and applied as an acetone and ethanol gas sensor at room temperature at various current densities J= 12, 24 and 30 mA/cm2 with an etching time of 10 min and hydrofluoric acid concentration of 40%. Well-ordered n-type PSi (100) was carefully studied for its chemical composition, surface structure and bond configuration of the surface via X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence tests. Results showed that the best sensitivity of PSi was to acetone gas than to ethanol under the same conditions at an etching current density of 30 mA/cm2, reaching about 2.413 at a concentration of 500 parts per million. The PSi layers served as low-cost and high-quality acetone gas sensors. Thus, PSi can be used to replace expensive materials used in gas sensors that function at low temperatures, including room temperature. The material has an exceptionally high surface-to-volume ratio (increasing surface area) and demonstrates ease of fabrication and compatibility with manufacturing processes of silicon microelectronics.

Functional materials incorporating cyanido-bridged DyIIICoIII molecules combine visible photoluminescence and slow magnetic relaxation, both switchable by the level of humidity within the reversible room temperature dehydration process.
