Porous silicon-based ferroelectric nanostructures

Abstract

A procedure is suggested for the preparation of porous silicon-based ferroelectric nanostructures. It is demonstrated that the method of chemical deposition from solutions provides for the penetration of the initial components of the solution into the matrix pores, and subsequent annealing leads to the crystallization of the ferroelectric phase. The diagnostics of the ferroelectric properties is performed using the method of generation of second optical harmonic. The spectral characteristics of the prepared ferroelectric nanostructures are investigated.
