In the PL spectra of Germanium quantum dots formed by the oxidation of Si 1-x Ge x substrate, at high oxidation temperature (800℃—1000℃) an emission band from 550nm to 720nm would originate from the diameter distribution of germanium nanoparticles (Ge clusters diameter: 3nm—4nm); and at low oxidation temperature (400℃—600℃) with Laser beam radiation, there is an emission band from 650nm to 900nm which may have come from the germanium clusters (diameter: 4nm—5nm). It is clearly seen that there are several peaks at 572nm, 620nm, 671nm, 724nm, 769nm, 810nm and 861nm wavelengths along the emission band, which are correlated to the quantum confinement effect with 3.32nm, 3.54nm, 3.76nm, 3.98nm, 4.17nm, 4.35nm and 4.62nm diameters of the germanium clusters, respectively. The simulation result with MC method demonstrates that the germanium clusters of the above diameters are more stable under the above conditions. A quantum confinement model has been set up, and calculations with the UHFR method and the quantum confinement analysis have been proposed to explain the PL spectra.","PeriodicalId":12872,"journal":{"name":"Guizhou Science","volume":"55 1","pages":"2488-2491"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71343491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new ellipsometric method was used for generating and measuring Ge nanostructures in oxidation of SiGe alloys. The fundamental optical constants of Ge nanolayers in the sample were determined by ellipsometry. The thickness and origin of the Ge bi-nanolayer was found out. A new peak in PL spectra was discovered, which relatd to the Ge bi-nanolayer (thickness: 0.8~1.4nm). Some suitable model and calculating formula can be provided with the UHFR method and quantum confinement analysis to interprete the PL spectrum and the nanostructure mechanism in the oxide.","PeriodicalId":12872,"journal":{"name":"Guizhou Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71343483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
