Figure 7

Raman spectra measured using 458 nm excitation in MBE grown Si/Si1-xGex 3D NS samples with x approaching 50%. (a) A full-range spectrum comparing the major SiGe Raman modes with the positions of the Raman peaks seen in a-Si and a-Ge. (b) Raman spectrum on a linear intensity scale showing Si–Si vibrational modes including the vibration associated with strained Si at ~507 cm-1.
