Codoping of boron (B) and phosphorus (P) atoms was performed during the synthesis of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by laser ablation. The observation of a local vibrational mode of B clearly showed B doping in codoped SiNWs, while Fano broadening due to heavy B doping disappeared, indicating compensation by P donors. The electrospin resonance signal of conduction electrons also disappeared due to compensation by B acceptors. These results indicate that codoping of B and P atoms was achieved in SiNWs during laser ablation.
