7 Quantum confined silicon and silicon-carbide nanoparticles
8 Why quantum confined crystalline silicon nanoparticles? Solar cells based on quantum confined silicon NCs to exploit carrier multiplication and increase efficiency above the theoretical limit Mariotti D et al.j. Phys. D: Appl. Phys.43, 2010, Mariotti D et al. J. Phys. Chem. C115, 2011, 5084 Mariotti D. et al.jpn. J. Appl. Phys.51, 2012, 10NE25 Mariotti D. et al.appl. Phys. Lett.100, 2012,
9 Quantum confined crystalline silicon nanoparticles MHz applied to a copper electrode with 1 mm distance from ground electrode Quartz capillary with 0.7 mm internal and 1 mm external diameter 250 sccm total flow of argon with 10 ppm silane 2-4 nm diameter nanoparticles Askari S, Mariotti D et al. Appl. Phys. Lett. 104, 2014,
10 Configurations for increased throughput and surface area For photovoltaic applications we need to produce films of Si nanoparticles We need to increase the throughput and also the surface are coverage Allows increasing the flow (and increasing the plasma length) without changing the plasma properties extending the configuration in one direction allows covering a larger surface area
11 Deposition of quantum confined silicon nanoparticles films Still working on control of porosity, uniformity, thickness Necessity of codeposition with other materials Further scale-up
12 Mariotti D et al. Phys. Rev. E80, 2009, further scale-up
13 Silicon-carbide nanoparticles: controlling size with the precursor concentration Quartz rectangular capillary with 0.5 mm internal gap and 0.3 mm thickness 1 slmargon background gas sccm argon flown through a bubbler with tetramethylsilane(tms) The TMS flow determine the precursor concentration and nanoparticle size Counts ~2.2 nm 5 Counts Particle diameter/nm Particle diameter/nm ~4.2 nm Increasing TMS concentration Counts ~6.5 nm 0 Particle diameter/nm
14 Why do particles crystallizeat low gas temperature? Gas temperature ~490 K Electron temperature ~1.1 ev Electrons initially negatively charge particles then the ion current contribute to particle heating Steady-state energy balance at the surface yields: OML model valid for low-collisionality CC Model valid for higher collisionality (our case) AskariS, Mariotti D et al. Appl. Phys. Lett.104, 2014,

17 Aerosol-plasma
18 A complicated scenario for droplets As seen before electron/ion currents contribute to particle heating and this is still applicable to liquid droplets (water/ethanol mixtures here) HEATINGinduces droplet evaporation so that these are expected to reduce in size as they travel through the plasma CHARGING. The high electron mobility does induce a net charge on the droplet which can reduce the droplet size by electrostatic repulsion at the Rayleigh limit CHEMISTRY. Finally, the electron current also induces a form of electrochemistry, inducing reactions within the droplets; it is important to underline that this is different from gas-phase plasma chemistry
19 Theoretical analysis of droplet charging and evaporation Droplet evaporation Initial charging Loss of charges due to evaporation in the plasma Loss of charges and reduction of size at the Rayleigh limit
