Abstract

The transport and electroluminescence properties of siloxene (Si6O3H6) in the as-prepared and annealed states are investigated. As-prepared siloxene is found to show a low dark conductivity (≈10-19 Ω cm-1) at room temperature which is thermally activated with an activation energy that is approximately half of the optical gap of siloxene (≈2.6 eV). The presence of ambient gases can increase the dark conductivity due to intercalation of gas molecules between the two-dimensional siloxene polymer sheets. The photoconductivity of siloxene is investigated with respect to its spectral and temperature dependences. Electroluminescence of siloxene is found for sufficiently high current levels.
