Plasmon loss features of porous silicon (PS) layers consisting of Si nanoparticles with average diameters of 3.6–4.5 nm were studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The volume plasmons of the Si nanoparticles in the as-prepared PS layers have the same energy as that of bulk Si (17.4 eV). The surfaces of the PS layers were sputter etched by argon (Ar) ion bombardment to remove any hydrogen passivation. The plasmon energy for the surface-sputtered PS layers increases from 17.4 eV to either ∼17.9 or 18.5 eV depending on the size of the nanoparticles, while the energy for bulk Si remains the same after the surface sputtering. A qualitative model with the plasma frequency modified from the free electron model was introduced to explain the observed characteristic features in the volume plasmons. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
