The special physicochemical environment caused by sonic_vacating provides an important outlet for the preparation of highly efficient luminescent porous silicon films.Experimental results show that sonic_chemical treatment is an effective t echnology for the improvement of the microstructure of porous silicon,and the luminescent efficiency and stability thereof.Luminescent porous silicon films,prep ared by ultrasonic-enhanced anode electrochemical etching,display better qualiti es than the samples prepared by conventionai methods widely used at present.This ultrasonic_chemical effect roots in sonic_vacating,i.e. the generation,formatio n and rapid collapse of bubbles in the etching solution.In the process of the po rous silicon being etched,the escape rate and caving_in of hydrogen bubbles in t he pores is increased as a result of the work of the ultrasonic waves,which is h elpful to the vertical etching of the pores.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
