Squeezing Germanium Nanostructures

  • Chapter
Molecular Building Blocks for Nanotechnology

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 109))

Abstract

The motivation of the present high-pressure studies is to investigate the strain effects in Germanium (Ge) nanostructures [1–6]. Germanium islands nucleate in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode as a result of strain accumulated due to the 4% lattice mismatch between Si and Ge [7].
