摘要: We have investigated variable-range hopping conduction in amorphous (c = 4 and 7 at.%) samples obtained by ion implantation treatment anodic etching HF solution - porous silicon. As temperature is reduced, we find a crossover from the Mott form to simply activated law, . This behaviour attributed temperature-induced transition 3d 1d network of weakly interconnected silicon quantum `wires'. The mean diameter wires, D 5 6 nm, was deduced analysis conductivity data agreement with XTEM STM observations. It found that density states material smaller than compact due broadening impurity band caused lateral confinement wires.
