    Etching Time Effect on Photoluminescence, Porosity, Surface Morphology and Conductivity of Porous Silicon
    (EDUCATUM Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology (EJSMT), 2016) Chan Kok Sheng; Wan M. Khairul Wan Mohamed Zin; Dwight Tham Jern Ee; Mohd Ikmar Nizam Mohamad Isa; Mohd Faiz Hassan
    Recently, porous silicon (PS) gains a lot of research interest with its potential applications in optoelectronics, flat panel displays technology, and chemical sensor. In this work, PS was chemically etched on p-type silicon (Si) wafer by hydrofluoric acid (HF) with 40% nitric acid (HNO3) concentration at different etching time. The PS has porosity dependent on etching time in the range (38-60) % that gives orange-red photoluminescence (PL) between 657 nm to 661 nm. The PL intensity increases and the peak wavelength shows slight blue shift as etching time increases. The energy gap obtained are higher than pure Si (1.11eV). Meanwhile, the conductivity of the PS decreases as the porosity and energy gap increase.

    Nanostructured materials for lithium ion batteries
    (University of Wollongong, 2010) Mohd Faiz Hassan
    Lithium ion batteries have become an essential part of everyday life. They are the power source for millions of consumer, business, medical, military, and industrial appliances worldwide. To maintain lithium ion batteries as the most outstanding portable energy resources, their electrochemical performance must continue to be improved in terms of capacity, rate capability, and cycle life.
