Particle Size Measurement of Porous Silicon Particles: A Short Review

Binoy Bera

Abstract


Nano particles of increasingly smaller particle size and various material compositions are being developed for the pharmaceutical, bio-medical, electronics, optoelectronics, energy, catalyst and ceramic industry. These nanoparticles are very much useful in numerous applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology field. Several nanoparticles can be formed and dissolved in aqueous or liquid medium. Porous silicon film can be fabricated by reaction induced vapour phase strain etch method and porous silicon nanoparticle can be formed by lifting off this film using micro-slicer and fractured into particles of different sizes using ultra-sound sonication technique. The size of the particles of porous silicon can be measured using dynamic light scattering method. Here in this paper, a short review about porous silicon nanoparticle and its size measurement has been discussed.

Keywords


porous silicon, dynamic light scattering, nanoparticles, particle sizing.
