The effect of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) adsorption on free charge carriers and spin centers in porous silicon has been studied by FTIR and ESR spectroscopy. The silicon dangling bond ( P b1 ‐center) density rises with increasing NO 2 pressure ( P   NO   2) while free charge carrier concentration depends on P   NO   2nonmonotonically. The experimental results are explained by a microscopic model taking into account both the formation of P   b1   +–(NO 2 ) – donor–acceptor pairs and NO 2 ‐induced oxidation of Si nanocrystal surfaces.
