Abstract
The synthesis of silicon nanoparticles in the reaction of the silane pyrolysis is presented. The reaction of the silane decomposition is performed in a flow reactor in the presence of the cw CO2-laser irradiation. As-prepared Si nanoparticles are studied with the aid of transmission electron microscope, fiber spectrometer, and FTIR spectrometer. Spherical Si nanoparticles with a diameter of about 15 nm are produced. The luminescence of the as-prepared nanoparticles is virtually absent. The nanoparticles are etched in acid vapor and are oxidized to increase the luminescence quantum yield. After the chemical treatment, the mean size of the crystalline core of nanoparticles decreases to 5 nm and the luminescence spectrum exhibits the band peaked at 730 nm.
