The composite samples of porous n-Si, which have been prepared by anodic etching and embedded with Ni and Co nanostructures by electroless process, were investigated by null-ellipsometry technique. The ellipsometric data were analysed in the multilayer model and the composition of porous layer on the substrate surface was determined. The null-ellipsometry technique was shown to be an efficient tool for nondestructive testing and characterization of porous n-Si samples with embedded transition metal structures.
Keywords: porous n-Si, transition metal nanoparticles, null-ellipsometry

Nul-elipsometrijos metodu ištirti sudėtingosios sandaros porėtieji n-Si dariniai, paruošti anodiniu ėsdinimu, su Ni ir Co dalelėmis, įterptomis elektrocheminio proceso būdu. Elipsometriniai duomenys išanalizuoti, pasinaudojant daugiasluoksniu modeliu ir nustatytas porėtojo sluoksnio, suformuoto padėklo paviršiuje, sąstatas. Gauti duomenys parodė, kad nul-elipsometrija yra efektyvus neardantis būdas charakterizuoti porėtojo n-Si darinius su įterptomis pereinamųjų metalų dalelėmis.
