Diamond cubic Sn-rich nanocrystals: synthesis, microstructure and optical properties
نویسنده
چکیده
Diamond cubic Sn-rich nanocrystals were fabricated with radii less than 20 nm by post-growth annealing at T = 750 ◦C of SnxGe1−x alloys grown on Ge(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. The crystal phase of the Sn-rich nanocrystals was determined to be diamond cubic from Fourier transform analysis of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. Optical transmittance of these SnxGe1−x/Ge (001) films demonstrated changes in optical absorption that can be attributed to absorption from the nanocrystals. The energy bandgap was measured to be 0.45 eV for nanocrystals arrays in Ge with a mean diameter of 32 nm. PACS 68.37.Lp; 78.67.Hc; 81.07.Ta; 81.16.Dn; 68.65.Hb

Colloidal synthesis of germanium nanocrystals
In this study, colloidal germanium nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple and novel method, and their optical properties were also studied. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a surface modifier was used to control the optical properties of colloidal Ge nanocrystals. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed to identify the various functional groups present in the sample. ...
متن کاملMicrostructure, mechanical and thermal properties of chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics based on Se-As-Ge system nucleated by Sn
In particular, chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics are new materials that exhibit good transparency in infrared region (0.8-12µm). We can overcome the main weakness of these glasses by improving the hardness through controlling crystallization. In this paper, we report results of a study on chalcogenide glasses in the ternary system of As-Se-Ge with nominal composition of Snx (Se...
