Nanosilicon. Properties, production, application, research methods, and control

The monograph is devoted to a systematic presentation of properties, methods of synthesis and the possibilities of using porous silicon, nanocond and composite materials based on them. In detail the methods for obtaining nanocrystalline silicon and their comparative analysis was carried out. Electronic and optical properties are described, modern methods of research, which make it possible to describe the spectral and structural properties of this material with unique optical (absorption of radiation in the UV region and photoluminescence in the visible region of the spectrum) and electrophysical properties.
Considerable attention is paid to various areas of practical application: in UV protective coatings, bioanalyst and solar energy. The results of studies of transformation of properties, silicon nanoparticles, depending on the chemical composition of impurities appearing during the synthesis and finding nanoparticles in the air atmosphere. The methods of diagnosing the structure, the composition of the resulting impurities and methods of directional modification of the surface of silicon nanoparticles and the functions of their size distribution are described.
The monograph is recommended to a wide range of readers interested in the problems of creating, research and applying nanomaterials, to scientists, graduate students and students specializing in this fascinating and intensively developing area of ​​modern science
