The composition of the surface and electrical properties of silicon oxide nanocomposites of porous silicon were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy in the range of 400 – 4000 cm-1and by impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 25 Hz – 1 MHz. It was revealed the different dispersion of electrical capacitance in different frequency bands and the complex relaxation processes that affect the electrical transport properties of nanocomposites. The correlations between the IR absorption spectra of silicon oxide composites and processes of charge transfer was defined. On the basis of analysis of spectra of thermal stimulated depolarization it was shown that oxidation of the surface of porous silicon nanocrystals gives rise to changing the density of states in different energy ranges.
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.
