Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-109). Doped silicon nanoparticles with clean surfaces and which are suitable forelectronic applications, have successfully been produced. The doped silicon nanoparticles produced in this work will find application in the emerging field of flexible electronics. Two bottom-up production processes were utilised: hot wire thermal catalytic pyrolysis and spark pyrolysis. The latter is a new process,developed as part of this research for silicon nanoparticle synthesis. In each method silicon nanoparticles were synthesised using mixtures of silane and phosphine ordiborane, to achieve n and p-type doping respectively. 2015-01-07T13:46:31Z 2015-01-07T13:46:31Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11740 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
