Nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 films are the subject of a number of recent works, mainly because of their potential usefulness in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices and nanocrystal memory structures. One interesting method for the fabrication of such nanocrystals is the ion implantation of segregating species into SiO2 films followed by heat treatment in order to induce nanocrystal formation. This method is both relatively simple and also compatible with the current MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) device technology. An unintentional effect can occur during the fabrication of nanocrystals using this method, namely a significant diffusion of the implanted species during annealing, away from the regions with the highest concentration. The Si/SiO2 interface can be exposed to this diffusion flux. This can result in an altered interface and have a significant influence on electronic devices. Here, we report on ion implantation of Ge into SiO2 on Si followed by annealing under conditions, resulting in Ge accumulation at the Si/SiO2 interface as determined by secondary-ion mass spectroscopy analysis, transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive analysis of x-rays, and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The accumulation of Ge at the Si/SiO2 interface has also been reported before. The resulting effect on the electronic structure of the interface is a priori unknown. We have fabricated MOS capacitors on the sample structures and their capacitance-voltage characteristics were measured and analyzed. We measure an interface state density around 1x10(12) cm(-2), which is high compared to standard Si MOS devices. We discuss the results in terms of the previous electrical measurements on Ge-oxide interfaces and SiGe interfaces, which also can yield a high interface state density. The specific conditions we report result in a sufficiently low Ge concentration that nanocrystals are not segregated in the SiO2 film, while Ge still accumulates at the Si/SiO2 interface after annealing.

Studies of Charm Quark Diffusion inside Jets Using Pb-Pb and pp Collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2020-09-01)
The first study of charm quark diffusion with respect to the jet axis in heavy ion collisions is presented. The measurement is performed using jets with p(T)(jet) > 60 GeV/c and D-0 mesons with p(T)(D) > 4 GeV/c in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV, recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The radial distribution of D-0 mesons with respect to the jet axis is sensitive to the production mechanisms of the meson, as well as t...
Evidence for Collective Multiparticle Correlations in p-Pb Collisions
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2015-06-01)
The second-order azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics, nu(2), are obtained in p-Pb and PbPb collisions over a wide pseudorapidity (.) range based on correlations among six or more charged particles. The p-Pb data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 nb(-1), were collected during the 2013 LHC p-Pb run at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV by the CMS experiment. A sample of semiperipheral PbPb collision data at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2...
Surface morphological evolution on single crystal films by strong anisotropic drift diffusion under capillary and electromigration forces
Ogurtani, Tarik Omer; Celik, Aytac (AIP Publishing, 2006-08-15)
The morphological evolution of voids at unpassivated surfaces and the sidewalls of single crystal metallic films is investigated via computer simulations by using a mathematical model based on fundamental postulates of irreversible thermodynamics. The effect of drift-diffusion anisotropy on the development of surface morphological scenarios is explored under the action of electromigration (EM) and capillary forces, utilizing numerous combinations of the surface texture and the direction of the applied elect...
Theoretical investigation of charge accumulation layer on the Bi-induced InAs(111)-(2 x 2) surface
Ozkaya, S.; Usanmaz, D.; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Alkan, B.; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (AIP Publishing, 2014-04-28)
Based on pseudopotential method and density functional theory, we have investigated the stability, atomic geometry, and detailed electronic structures for Bi adsorbates on the InAs(111)-(2 x 2) surface with three different sites: (i) T-4 (Bi trimer centered on T-4 site), (ii) H-3 (Bi trimer centered on H-3 site), and (iii) T-4-H-3 (which is formed by trimers with opposite orientations: one centered on a T-4 site and the other on a H-3). Our total energy calculations suggest that adsorption on the T-4-H-3 si...
Study of Jet Quenching with Z plus jet Correlations in Pb-Pb and pp Collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2017-08-01)
The production of jets in association with Z bosons, reconstructed via the mu(+)mu(-) and e(+)e(-) decay channels, is studied in pp and, for the first time, in Pb-Pb collisions. Both data samples were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The Pb-Pb collisions were analyzed in the 0%-30% centrality range. The back-to-back azimuthal alignment was studied in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions for Z bosons with transverse momentum p(T)(Z) > 60 GeV/c and a ...
