Abstract

A study by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the local atomic environment in laser-synthetized Si/C/N nanopowders is presented. The Si 2p, C Is, and N 1s core levels as well as the valence band distribution are investigated. The attention is focused on samples with C/N atomic ratio around 0.6 which exhibit interesting properties concerning annealing treatments. The presence of C-N bonds after 1500°C annealed samples is evidenced.
