A. Gokarna et al., Effect of swift high energy phosphorous ions on the optical and electricalproperties of porous silicon, NUCL INST B, 156(1-4), 1999, pp. 100-104
aEffect of high energy ion irradiation over the doping characteristics and
transport properties as well as photoluminescence from porous silicon is di
scussed in this paper. The samples were irradiated with 5 and 26 MeV phosph
orous ions, fluences varying between 1x10(11)-5x10(13) ions/cm(2). The irra
diated samples were subjected to photoluminescence spectroscopy, Hall measu
rements and junction I-V characteristics. The results are discussed in view
of the doping characteristics of phosphorous ions in the porous lattice. T
he role of chemical complexes in tailoring the photoluminescence behaviour
is also discussed. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r
