Infrared, Raman and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic study of SiO2:C nanopowders

Result description

Optical and magnetic properties of SiO2:C nanopowders obtained by chemical and thermal modification of fumed silica were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman, continuous wave (CW) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), echo-detected EPR and pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy. Two overlapping signals of Lorentzian lineshape were detected in CW EPR spectra of the initial SiO2:C. The EPR signal at g = 2.0055(3) is due to the silicon dangling bonds, which vanishes after thermal annealing, and the second EPR signal at g = 2.0033(3) was attributed to the carbon-related defect (CRD). The annealing of the SiO2:C samples gives rise to the increase of the CRD spin density and shift to the higher g-values due to the appearance of the oxygen in the vicinity of the CRD. Based on the temperature-dependent behavior of the CRD EPR signal intensity, linewidth and resonance field position we have attributed it to the spin system with non-localized electrons hopping between neighboring carbon dangling bonds, which undergo a strong exchange interaction with a localized spin system of carbon nanodots.
