How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Silicon nanowires obtained by metal-assisted chemical etching of crystalline silicon (Si) wafers are studied by Raman spectroscopy to reveal the effect of the formation time of nanowires and their additional doping with boron and phosphorus. The observed modification of the spectrum shape in the boron-doped samples due to the Fano effect made it possible to estimate the concentration of free holes in Si nanowires, which is of the order of 1019 - 1020 cm3, depending on the preparation conditions. The obtained results indicate the potential of the Raman spectroscopy for contactless diagnostics of Si nanostructures.
