Epitaxial Mn(5)Ge(3) nano-islands on a Ge(001) surface.
The growth behavior and atomic structure of Mn germanide, grown on Ge(001), is studied with x-ray diffraction and scanning probe microscopy. The amorphous clusters of as-deposited Mn are crystallized into Mn(5)Ge(3) nano-islands with a size of ∼100 nm by solid phase epitaxy. At low coverage, the shape of the nano-islands is plateau-like, while at increased coverage it becomes mound-like. At the...
متن کاملAbout Ge(Mn) diluted magnetic semiconductor
Deposition of 0.5 monolayer of Mn by molecular beam epitaxy on the surface of a Ge(0 0 1) substrate, and annealing, allowed the fabrication of a cluster-free Ge(Mn) diluted solution. Electronic spin resonance (ESR) was used to study the magnetic properties of this solution. These measurements, combined with secondary ion mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, and Auger electron spectroscop...
متن کاملGe substitutional defects and the √ 3 × √ 3 ↔ 3 × 3 transition in α - Sn / Ge ( 111 )
The structure and energetics of Ge substitutional defects on the α-Sn/Ge(111) surface are analysed using density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations. An isolated Ge defect induces a very local distortion of the 3 × 3 reconstruction, confined to a significant downwards displacement (−0.31 Å) at the defect site and a modest upward displacement (0.05 Å) of the three Sn nearest neighbo...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of Si and Ge presence on phase formation process, the structural and magnetic properties of Co2FeX (X=Ge,Si) Heusler compounds
In this study, the Co2FeX (X=Ge, Si) Heusler compounds with 30 valence electrons, which are made by using mechanical alloying and arc melting methods were studied. The crystallization of samples was confirmed by XRD data in both manufacturing methods. The results showed that the presence of Si than Ge in the compound played a more effective role to creation a large scale atomic ordering, and th...
متن کاملOne-step Ge/Si epitaxial growth.
Fabricating a low-cost virtual germanium (Ge) template by epitaxial growth of Ge films on silicon wafer with a Ge(x)Si(1-x) (0 < x < 1) graded buffer layer was demonstrated through a facile chemical vapor deposition method in one step by decomposing a hazardousless GeO(2) powder under hydrogen atmosphere without ultra-high vacuum condition and then depositing in a low-temperature region. X-ray ...
