For coordination compounds containing CO or CN groups, fast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR) provides a convenient method of probing excited states and intermediates. TRIR has proved particularly powerful for probing the structure and kinetics of organometallic intermediates. The interpretation is particularly straightforward when combined with IR data from matrix isolation experiments, although there can be some subtle differences. In excited state studies, shifts in ν(CO) and ν(CN) frequencies, from ground to excited state, are sensitive to the changes in electron distribution on excitation, thus allowing the distinction between charge-transfer and non-charge-transfer transitions. Subtle effects on excited state ν(CO) band positions occur with change from fluid to rigid solvent-“infrared rigidochromism”. There is often a change in ν(CO) band width on excitation; this can be interpreted in terms of specific interactions between the excited species and the solvent. This paper presents some of our recent work in this area.

AbstractHydrogen passivation of non-radiative defects increases the luminescence intensity from silicon nanocrystals. In this study, photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL were used to investigate the chemical kinetics of the hydrogen passivation process. Isochronal and isothermal annealing sequences were used to determine the reaction kinetics for the absorption and desorption of hydrogen, using the generalised consistent simple thermal (GST) model proposed by Stesmans for Pb defects at planar Si/SiO2 interfaces. This included determination of the activation energies and rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions as well as the associated spread in activation energies. The reaction kinetics determined from such measurements were found to be in excellent agreement with those for the passivation of Pb defects at planar Si/SiO2 interfaces, suggesting the nanocrystal emission process is also limited by such defects. These results provide useful model data as well as insight into the processing conditions needed to achieve optimum passivation in H2. As an extension to the work, a preliminary study into passivation by atomic hydrogen was pursued via a post-metallization Al anneal (alneal). A considerable gain in luminescence efficiency was achieved over the previously optimised passivation in H2.
