Abstract

Boron (B) doped silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were synthesized by laser ablation. Local vibrational modes of B in SiNWs were observed by micro-Raman scattering measurements at room temperature. Broadening due to a coupling between the discrete optical phonon and a continuum of interband hole excitations was also observed in the Si optical phonon peak. This is called Fano broadening. These results prove that B atoms were doped in substitutional sites of crystalline Si core of SiNWs during laser ablation.
