In this paper, we study the thermal oxidation kinetics of mesoporous silicon layers, synthesized by electrochemical anodization, from 260 °C up to 1100 °C. A specific apparatus is employed to heat the mesoporous samples in air and to record at the same time their infrared emittance. Based on Bruggeman effective medium approximation, an optical model is set up to realistically approximate the dielectric function of the porous material with an emphasis on the surface chemistry and oxide content. A transition temperature of 600 °C is evidenced from data processing which gives evidence of two oxidation mechanisms with distinct kinetics. Between 260–600 °C, the oxidation is surface-limited with kinetics dependent on the hydrogen desorption rate. However, above 600 °C, the oxide growth is limited by oxygen diffusion through the existing oxide layer. A parabolic law is employed to fit the oxidation rate and to extract the high-temperature activation energy (EA = 1.5 eV). A precise control of the oxide growth can thus be achieved.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
