Abstract:We examined by transmission electron microscopy the structure and crystallization behavior of hydrogenerated and non-hydrogenerated amorphous germanium films (a-Ge:H and a-Ge) prepared by sputtering to figure out the effects of hydrogen on them. In pair-distribution function, first and second peaks at the interatomic distance of 0.26 and 0.40 nm, respectively, were found to be higher and sharper in a-Ge:H than in a-Ge; therefore amorphous structure was organized in a more ordered state within a short range by … Show more
