We report a direct STM observation of Ge hut array nucleation on the Si(001) surface during ultrahigh vacuum molecular-beam epitaxy at 360C. Nuclei of pyramids and wedges have been observed on the wetting layer MxN patches starting from the…

A direct observation of nucleation of Ge hut clusters formed by ultrahigh vacuum molecular beam epitaxy is reported for the first time. The nuclei of the pyramidal and wedge-like clusters have been observed on the wetting layer blocks and…

Morphological investigations and classification of Ge hut clusters forming the arrays of quantum dots on the Si(001) surface at low temperatures in the process of the ultrahigh vacuum molecular beam epitaxy have been carried out using in…

We report a direct observation of Ge hut nucleation on Si(001) during UHV MBE. The study was carried out using a UHV instrument coupling MBE chamber and STM which enables the sample study on atomic level at any stage of treatment. Si wafers…

Difference in nucleation of Ge quantum dots during Ge deposition at low (< 600C) and high (> 600C) temperatures on the Si(001) surface is studied by high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy. Two process resulting in appearance of…

Issues of morphology, nucleation and growth of Ge cluster arrays deposited by ultrahigh vacuum molecular beam epitaxy on the Si(001) surface are considered. Difference in nucleation of quantum dots during Ge deposition at low (<600 deg C)…

In situ morphological investigation of the {105} faceted Ge islands on the Si(001) surface (hut clusters) have been carried out using an ultra high vacuum instrument integrating a high resolution scanning tunnelling microscope and a…

The article presents an experimental study of an issue of whether the formation of arrays of Ge quantum dots on the Si(001) surface is an equilibrium process or it is kinetically controlled. We deposited Ge on Si(001) at the room…

The results of STM and RHEED studies of a thin Ge film grown on the Si/Si(001) epitaxial layers with different surface relief are presented. Process of the partial stress relaxation was accompanied by changes in the surface structure of the…

Ge hut clusters, which appear during heteroepitaxy of Ge on Si(001), are prototypical examples of islands formed through strain. Experimentally, complete facets are observed to form rapidly, though the mechanism is unknown. We model the…

The morphological evolution and the effect of growth temperature on size, orientation and composition of molecular beam epitaxy grown Ge-Si islands on Si(5 5 12) surfaces have been investigated in the temperature range from room temperature…

Self-assembled Ge islands were grown on stripe-patterned Si (001) substrates by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. The surface morphology obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy…

Si/Ge heteroepitaxial dots under tensile strain are grown on nanostructured Ge substrates produced by high-temperature flash heating exploiting the spontaneous faceting of the Ge(001) surface close to the onset of surface melting. A very…

The report studies transformation of a Ge granular film deposited at room temperature on the Si(001) surface to the Ge/Si(001) heterostructure as a result of rapid heating and annealing at 600C. As a result of the short-term annealing at…

We performed classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate, from an atomistic point of view, the formation of dislocations during the epitaxial growth of Ge on Si. We show that simulations at 900 and 1000 K with deposition rates…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of submonolayer heteroepitaxial growth of Ag on Si(111)-7x7 at temperatures from 420 K to 550 K when Ag atoms can easily diffuse on the surface and the reconstruction 7x7 remains…

Molecular beam epitaxy of Ge (111) thin films on epitaxial-Gd2O3/Si(111) substrates is reported, along with a systematic investigation of the evolution of Ge growth, and structural defects in the grown epilayer. While Ge growth begins in…

The initial steps of MBE growth of GaAs on beta 2-reconstructed GaAs(001) are investigated by performing total energy and electronic structure calculations using density functional theory and a repeated slab model of the surface. We study…

An approach based on He scattering is used to develop an atomic-level structural model for an epitaxially grown disordered sub-monolayer of Ag on Pt(111) at 38K. Quantum scattering calculations are used to fit structural models to the…

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to study the surface and subsurface properties of the metastable phase of the phase change material…
