Abstract

Detailed structural investigations have been performed on a-Si1−xGex:H in 0 ≤ × ≤ l namely Raman, X-ray Photoelectron, and Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopies, which reveal the silicon sub-matrix to be considerably more rigid than the germanium one. In Si-Ge dominated networks distinct deviations from an overall random distribution of Si and Ge atoms can be deduced from a semi-quantitative analysis of the Raman data.
