摘要
At fixed reverse bias voltages of a diode structure consisting of nanoscale silicon particles embedded in an amorphous SiO2 matrix, conductance oscillation in time is observed on some samples at room temperature. Possible mechanisms of the conductance oscillations include the exchange of electrons between the quantum confined states coupled to localized defects and the charge state of these defects. The precise origin of the observed oscillations has not been identified.
