Abstract

Two methods are employed in the gas evaporation technique to form Ge nanocrystals with the Si-passivated surface. One uses one boat with a SiGe alloy as a source, and the other uses two boats each with Si and Ge. As a result of characterization by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, Raman scattering and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it is found that Ge nanocrystals with the Si-passivated surface were formed by coevaporation of Si and Ge from two boats, while SiGe alloy nanocrystals were formed by evaporation of the Si-Ge alloy source from one boat.
