One of the criteria for the development of high-energy processes is the large specific surface area of the solid component of composites. Therefore, the maximum preservation of its nanostructured skeleton when separating the porous layer from the monocrystal substrate is relevant. Based on the analysis of the quality of the porous layer under various methods and modes of its formation, two methods were selected that provide simple and effective separation of the porous structure from the monocrystal. For composites based on mounds of porous silicon (pSi) fragments (MPSF), three series of experiments were carried out with fragments of porous layers of different age (formed within the previously established time limits before composites creation) with registration of combustion dynamics, temperatures and combustion spectra, as well as intensity of disturbances in the atmosphere forming during combustion of MPSF-composites. Four combustion modes of MPSF-composites were established: smoldering, frontal, aerosol, and frontal-aerosol. The ignition induction times were determined: from 1 to 50 ^s, pressure pulses in the atmosphere at a distance of 260 mm from the ignition site - up to 1.6 bar (with a mass of composites up to 0.4 g). Combustion velocities ofMPSF-composites and their dependences onthe coefficient of stoichiometry and humidity of sodium perchlorate monohydrate are established.

The processes of pSi ignition and combustion in oxygen are described. When spark ignition in the porous layer releases the Joule heat, it leads to a significant heating-up of the breakdown region.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential use of porous silicon (pSi) as an energetic material. However, there are a number of dificulties in such an application of nanostructured silicon. Here are two of the most serious dificulties.

ABSTRACTApplication of porous silicon in thermal microsystem structures often requires the formation of deep localized porous silicon layers. The most commonly used method to prepare the porous layers is the dc anodic etching of monocrystalline silicon in a hydrofluoric acid (HF) based electrolyte. However inhomogeneity of the nanocrystallite size along the layer depth due to the decrease of HF concentration within the pores as well as the poor uniformity of the porous layer thickness limit the elaboration of deep porous layers. Thus we propose an original pulsed anodisation technique, using a double tank etching cell that allows localized porous silicon layers formation throughout the whole wafer thickness.Furthermore a selective double sided pulsed anodisation of silicon was performed on patterned silicon substrates. Porous silicon is formed in pre-determined parts of the wafer using composite polysilicon-silicon nitride masking layers. Technological solutions to get rid of porous layer thickness inhomogeneity due to non uniform current density distribution are discussed. Finally a toric porous silicon layer, crossing the whole silicon wafer, surrounding a 20 mm diameter monocrystalline silicon cylinder was successfully achieved ensuring a new approach of thermal insulation for thermal effect microsystems.

ABSTRACTWe present the first quantitative assessment of combustion dynamics of on-chip porous silicon (PS) energetic material using sulfur and nitrate-based oxidizers with potential for improved moisture stability and/or minimized environmental impact compared to sodium perchlorate (NaClO4). Material properties of the PS films were characterized using gas adsorption porosimetry, and profilometry to calculate specific surface area, porosity and etch depth. The PS/sulfur energetic composite was formed using three pore loading techniques, where the combustion speeds ranged from 2.9 – 290 m/s. The nitrate-based oxidizers were solution-deposited using different compatible solvents, and depending on the metal-nitrate yielded combustion speeds of 3.1 – 21 m/s. Additionally, the combustion enthalpies from bomb calorimetry experiments are reported for the alternative PS/oxidizer systems in both nitrogen and oxygen environments.

Porous silicon (PSi) has been widely used as a biosensor in recent years due to its large surface area and its optical properties. Most PSi biosensors consist in close-ended porous layers, and, because of the diffusion-limited infiltration of the analyte, they lack sensitivity and speed of response. In order to overcome these shortcomings, PSi membranes (PSiMs) have been fabricated using electrochemical etching and standard microfabrication techniques. In this work, PSiMs have been used for the optical detection of Bacillus cereus lysate. Before detection, the bacteria are selectively lysed by PlyB221, an endolysin encoded by the bacteriophage Deep-Blue targeting B. cereus. The detection relies on the infiltration of bacterial lysate inside the membrane, which induces a shift of the effective optical thickness. The biosensor was able to detect a B. cereus bacterial lysate, with an initial bacteria concentration of 105 colony forming units per mL (CFU/mL), in only 1 h. This proof-of-concept also illustrates the specificity of the lysis before detection. Not only does this detection platform enable the fast detection of bacteria, but the same technique can be extended to other bacteria using selective lysis, as demonstrated by the detection of Staphylococcus epidermidis, selectively lysed by lysostaphin.
