Formation of Micrometer-Sized Textured Hexagonal Silicon Crystals via Nanoindentation
Mouad Bikerouin, Anna Marzegalli, Davide Spirito +10
We present a comprehensive study on the formation of micrometer-sized, textured hexagonal diamond silicon (hd-Si) crystals via nanoindentation followed by annealing. Utilizing adva…
Unraveling the Atomic-Scale Pathways Driving Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions in Silicon
Fabrizio Rovaris, Anna Marzegalli, Francesco Montalenti +1
Silicon exhibits several metastable allotropes which recently attracted attention in the quest for materials with superior (e.g. optical) properties, compatible with Si technology.…
Polytypic Quantum Wells in Si and Ge: Impact of 2D Hexagonal Inclusions on Electronic Band Structure
Anna Marzegalli, Francesco Montalenti, Emilio Scalise
Crystal defects, traditionally viewed as detrimental, are now being explored for quantum technology applications. This study focuses on stacking faults in silicon and germanium, fo…
