Core-shell Ge-SixGe1âx nanowires (NWs) are expected to contain large strain fields due to the lattice mismatch at the core-shell interface. Here we report the measurement of core strain in a NW heterostructure using Raman spectroscopy. We compare the Raman spectra, and the frequency of the Ge-Ge mode measured in individual Ge-Si0.5Ge0.5 core-shells, and bare Ge NWs. We find that the Ge-Ge mode frequency is diameter independent in Ge NWs with a value similar to that of bulk Ge, 300.5 cmâ1. On the other hand, Ge-Si0.5Ge0.5 core-shell nanowires reveal a strain-induced blue shift of the Ge-Ge mode, dependent on the relative core and shell thicknesses. Using lattice dynamical theory we determine the strain in the Ge core and show that the results are in good agreement with values calculated using a continuum elasticity model.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
