Strain Relaxation Mechanisms and Local Structural Changes in Si1−xGex Alloys
In this work, we address issues pertinent to the understanding of the structural and electronic properties of Si1−xGex alloys, namely, (i) how does the lattice constant mismatch between bulk Si and bulk Ge manifests itself in the alloy system? and (ii) what are the relevant strain release mechanisms? To provide answers to these questions, we have carried out an in-depth study of the changes in ...
متن کاملDonor-doping characteristics of gas-source molecular beam epitaxial Si and Si1-xGex using phosphine
Well-behaved and reproducible n-type doping of Si and Sir -$e, by phosphine during gas-source molecular beam epitaxy is demonstrated. No significant reduction of growth rate of these materials in the presence of phosphine is recorded in the doping range of 1017-10’9 cmp3 and perfect surface morphologies are observed. The incorporated P atoms are fully activated without ex situ annealing. The do...
متن کاملThe interstitial CiOi defect in bulk Si and Si1−xGex
The equilibrium geometries, phonon spectra, electronic structures and optical properties of the Ci Oi defect in bulk Si and Si1−x Gex systems are calculated using the ab initio plane wave density-functional method. We find that in a Gedoped Si crystal it is more energetically favourable for the defect to stabilize in a configuration with no Ge atoms in the first sphere. Our calculations show th...
متن کاملControlling the Composition and Morphology of Si1-xGex Nanowires
Silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) semiconductor nanowires can be utilized in next generation electronic, photonic, and energy conversion devices. Si, Ge, and Si1-xGex materials are also well studied and currently used in industry. Optoelectronic properties, such as the band gap, can be tuned by modulating the alloy composition, thus allowing for a wider range of uses. The focus of this project wa...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of Si1−xGex/Si1− yGe y superlattices: Competition between interfacial and internal scattering
We investigate thermal transport in Si/Ge and Si1−xGex /Si1−yGey alloy superlattices based on solving the single-mode phonon Boltzmann transport equation in the relaxation-time approximation and with full phonon dispersions. We derive an effective interface scattering rate that depends both on the interface roughness (captured by a wave-vector-dependent specularity parameter) and on the efficie...
