Abstract

The local structure of Ge/Si nanostructures was discussed using x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The samples were found to be grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on Si substrate at three different temperatures of 510, 550 and 745 °C. The analysis showed that the combined diffraction anomalous fine structure (DAFS)-EXAFS analysis allowed to separate the structural parameters of the intermixed nanocrystalline and amorphous phases.
