LITHIUM PRECIPITATES IN GERMANIUM CRYSTALS 495 Investigation of Lithium Precipitates in Germanium Crystals by Anomalous X-Ray Transmission
نویسنده
چکیده
The precipitation of lithium dissolved in germanium crystals and the re-solution of the pre cipitates during heating has been studied by means of anomalous transmission of x-rays. The effec tive absorption coefficient depends sensitively on the spacial distribution of lithium interstitials, and is enhanced enormously if pair correlations increase, as is the case during clustering. On the basis of Dederidis’ theory and knowledge about the Geli phase diagram, the experiments provide relations between concentration and radius of the precipitates, distortion parameters, and average and local concentration of lithium interstitials.

Heterostructures of skutterudites and germanium antimony tellurides structure analysis and thermoelectric properties of bulk samples
Heterostructures of germanium antimony tellurides with skutterudite-type precipitates are promising thermoelectric materials due to low thermal conductivity and multiple ways of tuning their electronic transport properties. Materials with the nominal composition [CoSb2(GeTe)0.5]x(GeTe)10.5Sb2Te3 (x = 0–2) contain nanoto microscale precipitates of skutterudite-type phases which are homogeneously...

Previous work performed on electron-irradiated Li2O crystals has demonstrated the simultaneous formation of two populations of colloids of metallic lithium, one is associated with oxygen bubbles and a typical size of >10 microm, while the other one consists of nanoclusters in the range of <10 nm. In the present neutron scattering investigation these small colloids are characterized in detail ba...
