Abstract

We present two Meyer-Neldel Rules (MNRs) for the dc conductivity in porous silicon (PS), and compare them with the corresponding MNR in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). One rule resembles the MNR observed in a-Si:H, while the other is very different. We critically analyze the new results in view of the existing theories of the MNR, and conclude that the second MNR in PS indicates that only the 'statistical shift' model can account for the experimental data in the two materials.
