ABSTRACTTransmission Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy was utilized to monitor the effect of surface coverage on photoluminescent porous silicon. These experiments were performed in situ in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber to correlate simultaneously surface coverage and photoluminescence intensity. The goal of these FTIR and photoluminescence studies was to clarify the mechanism of the photoluminescence from porous silicon.

In situ electromodulated reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been employed to study the adsorption of 4-cyanopyridine (4-CNPy) at an Au(111) electrode surface. The vibrational spectra have been used to study (i) the dependence of the band intensity on the surface coverage, (ii) the character of surface coordination, and (iii) the stability of adsorbed 4-CNPy molecules. It has been observed that the vibrational bands in the spectra acquired in the electroreflection experiment are significantly broader than the corresponding spectra acquired in a transmission cell. Some weaker bands seen in the spectra recorded in transmission were not observed in the electroreflectance experiment. The electroreflectance spectra were dominated by the two ring deformation bands observed at 1416 cm−1 and 1554 cm−1. The intensities of these bands correlated well with the surface concentrations of 4-CNPy molecules determined from independent electrochemical studies. The integrated absorption intensities of the bands recorded in the electroreflection experiments were larger by a factor of five than the absorption intensities measured in the transmission cell. This indicates that the electric field of the photon acting on a molecule, present in front of the gold electrode, is significantly enhanced by reflection from the electrode. The infrared experiments suggest that at positive potentials the 4-CNPy molecules are coordinated to the metal surface through the nitrogen atom of the aromatic ring. The 4-CNPy molecules are oxidized at the Au electrode at potentials higher than 0.6 V (SCE) and are reduced to form (4-CNPy)−• ion at potentials lower than −1.1 V (SCE). Key words: adsorption, infrared spectroscopy, 4-cyanopyridine, gold electrode.

AbstractWe performed in-situ photoluminescence and Raman measurements on an anodized silicon surface in the HF/ethanol solution used for anodization. The porous silicon thereby produced, while resident in HF/ethanol, does not immediately exhibit intense photoluminescence. Intense photoluminescence develops spontaneously in HF/ethanol after 18–24 hours or with replacement of the HF/ethanol with water. These results support a quantum confinement mechanism in which exciton migration to traps and nonradiative recombination dominates the de-excitation pathways until silicon nanocrystals are physically separated and energetically decoupled by hydrofluoric acid etching or surface oxidation. The porous silicon surface, as produced by anodization, shows large differences in photoluminescence intensity and peak wavelength over millimeter distances. Parallel Raman measurements implicate nanometer-size silicon particles in the photoluminescence mechanism.

AbstractThe optical properties of both electrochemically anodized and chemically stain-etched porous silicon are presented. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that absorbance in stain-etched samples was 3x and 1.7x greater than in anodized samples for the SiH/SiH2 stretch and scissors-bending modes, respectively. Also, oxygen is detected in stain-etched samples immediately after formation, unlike anodized samples. Photoluminescence measurements showed different steady state characteristics. Electrochemical-etched silicon samples stored in air increased in photoluminescent intensity over time, unlike the stain-etched samples. A photoluminescent device made by anodization on epitaxial p-type material (0.4 Ωm) on n-type substrate (0.1 Ω-cm) did not exhibit electroluminescence.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) on silica modified polyaniline (SM-PANI) was prepared via chemical bath deposition and in situ polymerization. The optical characteristics of the nanocomposites were investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The bands showed higher absorbance in the visible region. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that there is an interaction between SM-PANI and ZnO.
