Growth and Raman Spectroscopy of Single Crystal ZnGeN2 Rods Grown from a Molten Zn/Ge Alloy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
We present evidence for the growth of ZnGeN2 from a molten Zn/Ge alloy via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. Hexagonally faceted, 3-4 microns wide by 20-40 microns long, single crystal rods of ZnGeN2 capped by a polycrystalline dome of ZnGeN2 were formed. A micro-Raman spectrum shows several individually resolved peaks and no spectral features above 825 cm−1, in contrast to a previously published spectrum for polycrystalline ZnGeN2, but in excellent agreement with recent theoretical predictions.
