Abstract
Diamond cubic Sn-rich nanocrystals were fabricated with radii less than 20 nm by post-growth annealing at T=750 °C of Sn_xGe_(1-x) alloys grown on Ge(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. The crystal phase of the Sn-rich nanocrystals was determined to be diamond cubic from Fourier transform analysis of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. Optical transmittance of these Sn_xGe_(1-x)/Ge (001) films demonstrated changes in optical absorption that can be attributed to absorption from the nanocrystals. The energy bandgap was measured to be 0.45 eV for nanocrystals arrays in Ge with a mean diameter of 32 nm.
