Abstract
We found that nanostructured porous silicon obtained by anodization desorbs hydrogen under electron bombardment. The kinetics of this electronโinduced effusion can be explained neither in terms of thermal processes nor by direct transference of energy from the impinging electron to the Si๏ฃฟH bonds. We show that short livedโlarge energy fluctuations (SLEFs), occurring during bimolecular recombination processes of carriers produce both, a midgap increment of the density of electronic defect states and hydrogen desorption.
