Popis: The present study investigates systematically, how the electrical properties of thin films consisting of silicon nanoparticles are affected by an organic monolayer coating the particles. Therefore, films of as-prepared silicon nanoparticles with a size of about 23 nm as well as freshly etched ones, both terminated with hydrogen, are compared with films of silicon nanoparticles functionalized with different 1-alkenes. It is found that the activation energy of the electron transport through the nanoparticle films scales with the thickness and permittivity of the respective organic monolayer.
