Direct measurement of strain in a Ge island on Si(001)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on a direct measurement of the strain in a single Ge "quantum dot" island grown on Si by chemical vapor deposition, which they use to measure the maximum in-plane displacement, and good agreement is found between the experimental value of 0.86±0.17% average strain and finite element simulations assuming pure Ge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equilibrium Shape Diagram for Strained Ge Nanocrystals on Si(001)

TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical-thermodynamic model was introduced to explain the formation and annealing behavior of Ge nanocrystalline islands grown on Si(001) in a geodesic environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal stability of Ti-catalyzed Si nanowires

TL;DR: The stability of long, narrow Si nanowires grown by catalytic decomposition of a Si-containing gas during annealing was investigated in this paper, and it was shown that surface diffusion appears to be sufficient to allow constant-diameter nanowire regions to form.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simple Electroabsorption Calculator for Designing 1310 nm and 1550 nm Modulators Using Germanium Quantum Wells

TL;DR: In this article, a simple quantum well electroabsorption calculator (SQWEAC) uses the tunneling resonance method, 2-D Sommerfeld enhancement, the variational method and an indirect absorption model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dome-to-pyramid shape transition in Ge/Si islands due to strain relaxation by interdiffusion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to measure the strain versus aspect ratio for the various annealing times of the Si(001) epilayer.
