AbstractGermanium (Ge) films were deposited on substrates whose temperature was kept at room (Ge-RT) or liquid nitrogen temperature (Ge-LNT) by the cluster-beam evaporation technique. The Raman spectra of both films with a double peak suggest that the crystal structure is not the ordinary diamond but the tetragonal one. The critical temperature for the phase transformation from the tetragonal into the diamond structure is found much higher than that for the Ge nanostructures deposited by the gas-evaporation technique. The Ge-LNT sample exhibits photooxidation and photoluminescence (PL) when it is exposed to the UV light. Their PL and optical absorption characteristics are strongly influenced by a combination of the photo-oxidation and thermal annealing treatments.

AbstractRoom temperature current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were studied across the thickness of the Ge nanocrystalline films, prepared by the cluster beam evaporation technique. The films thus prepared are deposited either at room temperature (Ge-RT) or at liquid nitrogen temperature (Ge-LNT). Ge-LNT nanofilm is subjected to oxidation while Ge-RT did not get oxidized. Steps were observed in the I-V characteristics of the thin Ge- LNT samples suggesting the Coulomb Blockade effect.
