A number of silicon compounds and aromatic compounds form particles under UV light or electron beam irradiation in the gas phase. Carbonyl compounds, halogen compounds and some aromatic compounds act as initiators for photo-induced particle formation of silicon compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
