Abstract

This paper reports experimental data on both the solid-liquid and liquid-vapour phase transitions of an organic fluid confined in the pore network of porous silicon, by using respectively differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Due to the nanometric pore sizes of this material, the surface effects have a strong influence, shifting the transition parameters (lower melting temperature and lower condensation vapour pressure respectively). In particular, the effect of chemical dissolution on the pore size distribution of porous silicon layers has been investigated.
