研究目的
Investigating the thermal transport in porous silicon nanostructures and silicon nanowires to estimate their thermal conductivity values using photoacoustic measurements with piezoelectric recordings.
研究成果
The photoacoustic technique with a piezoelectric configuration is an efficient tool for studying the thermal physical properties of various nanostructured materials. The thermal conductivity values determined for porous silicon and silicon nanowires agreed well with previously reported data, highlighting the influence of morphological features on thermal transport.
研究不足
The study is limited by the working frequency range of the photoacoustic technique and the assumption of negligible thermal interface resistance. The effects of fast thermalization and electron-hole recombination were also neglected.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a photoacoustic technique based on piezoelectric recordings to measure the thermal conductivity of silicon nanomaterials. A theoretical model was developed to fit the experimental data.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Porous silicon (PS) samples and silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were fabricated via electrochemical and metal-assisted chemical etching processes, respectively.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A light-emitting diode for illumination, a piezoelectric transducer (PIC-151) for acoustic wave detection, and a lock-in amplifier (Princeton Applied Research, 5320) for measuring amplitude–frequency and phase–frequency dependencies.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The sample surface was illuminated by a modulated light source, and the resulting photoacoustic signals were detected by the piezoelectric transducer. The amplitude–frequency and phase–frequency dependencies of the photoacoustic responses were recorded.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The experimental data were fitted with a theoretical model to evaluate the thermal conductivities of the silicon nanostructures.
