摘要: Modification of films containing Si nanocrystallites embedded in SiO2 by irradiation with high-energy ions was found to induce peaks their low-frequency capacitance?voltage characteristics. Considering the nanocrystallite spatial distribution that follows ion tracks we interpret these as due charge transfer along tracks, similar process reported previously for two-dimensional arrays such crystallites. The above three-dimensional system appears be useful then fabrication nanostructures, which have also properties low-dimensional arrays.
