摘要
Gas works wonders! Conduction-band electrons can be generated in p +-type mesoporous crystalline silicon through the adsorption of ammonia (see scheme). Free-carrier concentration increases with increasing NH3 adsorption to a critical value, where a reversible insulator-to-metal transition occurs.
