The local structure around Ge atoms in Ge-doped magnetite thin films

Local structure resulting from photo and thermal diffusion of Ag in Ge–Se thin films

Thermally and photoinduced diffusion of Ag in thin amorphous Ge20Se80 films are investigated with particular attention being given to the reaction kinetics and the local structure that results. The differences in the nature of the two diffusion processes with regard to the amount of the diffused silver in the films and the changes in the backbone structure of the hosting film are presented and ...

Hydrogen contamination in Ge-doped SiO 2 thin films prepared by helicon activated reactive evaporation

Phase separation during co-deposition of Al-Ge thin films

We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of phase separation and microstructure development in co-deposited Al-Ge thin films. For small film thicknesses and deposition temperatures above 150 °C the phase-separated films consist of an array of domains of the Aland Ge-rich terminal phases (lateral phase separation). Films deposited at 100 °C or less containe...

Properties of Sputtered A-ge and A-ge:h Thin Films

Title of Thesis : Properties of sputtered a-Ge and a-Ge:H thin films Hanjin Cho, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering , 1987 Thesis directed by : Dr. Kenneth S. Sohn. The effect of the amorphous and glassy structure of amorphous germanium films on their electrical characteristics was investigated experimentally. The films were deposited onto silicon substrates using a modified MRC 8800 t...

Structure, strain and stability of ultra-thin Ge layers in Si/Ge/Si axial heterojunction nanowires

The abrupt heterointerfaces in the Si/Ge materials system presents useful possibilities for electronic device engineering because the band structure can be affected by strain induced by the lattice mismatch. In planar layers, heterointerfaces with abrupt composition changes are difficult to realize without introducing misfit dislocations. However, in catalytically grown nanowires, abrupt hetero...
