Abstract

Thin films made up of arrays of amine-terminated silicon nanoparticles (NH2-SiNPs) synthesized by a new evaporation technique have been formed by employing TEM grids as nanostencils. FTIR imaging illustrates the feasibility of the method in nanoscale device fabrication applications. Micro-mapping over areas of the nanoparticle material allows the surface chemistry to be examined. FTIR imaging shows trace amounts of oxide confined to the NP surfaces. Thicker films formed by dropcasting allowed the nanoparticle behaviour to be studied under conditions of extended exposure to 150 eV photons radiation by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The XPS spectrum was monitored over the Si2p region and the initial peak at 100.53 eV was observed to shift to higher binding energies as irradiation progressed which is indicative of charge trapping within the film. This result has potential consequences for applications where NH2-SiNPs are used in X-ray environments such as in bioimaging where the increasing charge buildup is related to enhanced cytotoxicity.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
