SiGe hetero-structures have a high potential to improve the state-of-art Si devices
particularly VLSIs and add such new functions as optics and also provide a new scientific …

An overview of theoretical models of plastic deformation and diffusion processes in
nanocrystalline (nano–grained) materials is presented. The key experimentally detected …

Substrate-transferred crystalline coatings have recently emerged as a groundbreaking new
concept in optical interference coatings. Building upon our initial demonstration of this …

The GaAs-based material system is well-known for hosting InAs quantum dots (QDs) with
outstanding optical properties, typically emitting at a wavelength of around 900 nm. The …

The effect of applying different surface elasticity models related to the Gurtin–Murdoch and
Steigmann–Ogden theories to the problem on an interaction of a dislocation row with a flat …

Surface crosshatch roughness typically develops during the growth of lattice-mismatched
compositionally graded buffers and can limit misfit dislocation glide. In this study, the …

In this paper, we discuss a theoretical approach to morphological instability analysis of the
coherent interphase boundaries in strained heterostructures. Taking into account the fact …

Thermal decomposition of GaAs (111) A and (111) B surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum results in
self-running Ga droplets. Although Ga droplets on the (111) B surface run in one main …

The structural, morphological, and energy band alignment properties of biaxial tensile-
strained germanium epilayers, grown in-situ on GaAs via a linearly graded In x Ga 1-x As …

Dysprosium disilicide can form nanowires and three dimensional 3D islands on the Si001
surface. The nanowire density and width are metal coverage dependent. Various …
