Matrix-dependent structure of GeSi nanocrystals in SiC.

چکیده
It is shown experimentally that GeSi nanocrystals in SiC created after high-dose Ge ion implantation and high-temperature annealing are hexagonal in a hexagonal 4H-SiC matrix and are of cubic structure in a cubic 3C-SiC matrix. This interesting fact could be explained by molecular dynamics as the force of the system nanocrystal-matrix to minimize its interface energy.

TEM-characterization of magnetic samarium- and cobalt-rich-nanocrystals formed in hexagonal SiC
Using analytical transmission electron microscopy techniques, nanocrystals embedded in 4H–SiC are studied which formed after high dose samarium (Sm), cobalt (Co), and Sm-and-Co-ion implantations and annealing. SmSi2, Sm5C2, Co2Si and SmCo-rich nanocrystals have been identified in terms of their crystallography, shape, strain, size, and orientation relationship to the matrix. It is shown, moreov...
متن کاملThe structure of Si nanocrystals on SiC.
Si nanocrystals grown on cubic SiC have been characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. At lower temperatures nanocrystals grow in two different orientations, whereas at higher temperatures they grow in a single preferred orientation. The nanocrystals are shown to be unstrained; in some cases possibly due to the presence of a thin amorphous wetting layer.
متن کاملSurface charges and optical characteristic of colloidal cubic SiC nanocrystals
Colloidal cubic silicon carbide (SiC) nanocrystals with an average diameter of 4.4 nm have been fabricated by anisotropic wet chemical etching of microsized cubic SiC powder. Fourier transform infrared spectra show that these cubic SiC nanocrystals contain carboxylic acid, SiH, CH, and CHx groups. UV/Vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy clearly indicate that water and ethanol ...
متن کاملPractical considerations on the determination of the accuracy of the lattice parameters measurements from digital recorded diffractograms.
The influence of magnification and defocus on the precision Delta d/d of lattice parameter measurements have been studied by evaluating the diffraction vector length and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the diffraction peaks in diffractograms calculated by fast Fourier transformation (FFT) of digitally recorded images. Examples are perfect crystals (Si and SiC) and defective crystals (two- an...
متن کاملThe formation of clusters and nanocrystals in er-implanted hexagonal silicon carbide.
Impurity atom cluster and nanocrystal formation in Er-implanted hexagonal SiC were studied using TEM and HAADF-STEM. Short interstitial loops were initially observed to form in the as-implanted layers. After annealing at 1600 degrees C extended matrix defects (wide interstitial loops and voids), Er atom clusters and nanocrystals grew. The wide interstitial loops act as strong sinks capturing di...
