Abstract

We observe several weak features between 420 and 470 cm-1 in addition to the normally observed Si-Si (∼500 cm-1), Si-Ge (∼400 cm-1), and Ge-Ge (∼300 cm-1) optic modes in the Raman spectra of Si1-xGex (0.28≤x≤0.77) single crystal layers grown by liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE). The quasiequilibrium LPE-growth process rules out the type of long-range ordering recently observed in Si1-xGex/Si strained-layer superlattices as the origin for these peaks. Calculations of the first-order Raman spectra of random 216-atom c-Si1-xGex alloys reproduce these weak features, which proves that they are not due to second-order Raman processes. Normal-mode analysis shows that they are due to localized Si-Si motion in the neighborhood of one or more Ge atoms. Implications for strain-induced long-range ordering in c-Si1-xGex alloys are discussed.

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.
