Ge nanodots embedded in a silica matrix
The properties of GeSiO films consisting of Ge nanodots embedded in SiO2 matrix, prepared by sol-gel and magnetron sputtering methods, followed by an adequate thermal annealing, are studied and discussed in this paper. Structural investigations were performed by means of transmission electron microscopy and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy. In the sol-gel films one finds amorphous Ge nanodots di...
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 کاملComparative STM and RHEED studies of Ge/Si(001) and Si/Ge/Si(001) surfaces
Although epitaxial growth has been traditionally monitored by reciprocal space techniques, such as reflection highenergy electron diffraction (RHEED), the development of surface-sensitive imaging techniques, such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), allows for monitoring in the real-space. RHEED averages information over relatively large sample regions, and is thus more representative of the...
متن کاملEffect Of Phosphorus On Ge/Si(001) Island Formation
When Ge is deposited epitaxially on Si, the strain energy from the lattice mismatch causes the Ge in layers thicker than about four monolayers to form distinctive, three-dimensional islands. The shape of the islands is determined by the energies of the surface facets, facet edges, and interfaces. When phosphorus is added during the deposition, the surface energy changes, modifying the island sh...
متن کاملSimulation of thermal stress and buckling instability in Si/Ge and Ge/Si core/shell nanowires
The present study employs the method of atomistic simulation to estimate the thermal stress experienced by Si/Ge and Ge/Si, ultrathin, core/shell nanowires with fixed ends. The underlying technique involves the computation of Young's modulus and the linear coefficient of thermal expansion through separate simulations. These two material parameters are combined to obtain the thermal stress on th...
