Author:Scriba, Manfred R; Britton, DT; Härting, MDate:Nov 2012Monocrystalline silicon nanoparticles with a mean diameter of between 30 and 40 nm have been synthesised by hot wire thermal catalytic and spark pyrolysis at a pressure of 40 and 80 mbar respectively. For the production a mixture of the ...Read more
Author:Scriba, Manfred R; Arendse, CJ; Harting, M; Britton, DTDate:Jan 2008The viability of producing silicon nanoparticles using the HWCVD process is investigated. A system is assembled and particles are produced from silane at pressures between 0.2 – 48 mbar, with hydrogen dilutions of 0-80%, at a total flow rate ...Read more
