Influence of H2 Preconditioning on the Nucleation and Growth of Self-Assembled Germanium Islands on Silicon (001)

Understanding the effects of growth conditions on the process of self-organisation of Ge nanostructures on Si is a key requirement for their practical applications. In this study we investigate the effect of preconditioning with a high-temperature hydrogenation step on the nucleation and subsequent...
