Annotation |
DFT calculations show that the passivation of boron atoms impurity in porous silicon (PS) and silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by surface broken bonds or pb-centers with a certain probability occurs at relatively large distances – up to 25 Å, that is, through dozens of atomic layers. This allows us to explain the dimensions of PS nanoparticles obtained after electrochemical etching. Ionized B atom and pb-center interact with long-range forces that are more complex than Coulomb forces. |
