The electrodeposition of germanium from the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide ([BMP][DCA]) and a mixture of [BMP][DCA] and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride ([BMP]Cl) was studied using cyclic voltammetry and using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). [GeCl4(BuIm)2] (BuIm = N-butylimidazole) was used as

The response of three covalent crystals with a diamond lattice (C, Si and Ge) to uniaxial and a special triaxial (generally nonhydrostatic) loading is calculated from first principles. The lattice deformations are described in terms of variations of bond lengths

The thermoelectric properties between 10 and 300 K and the growth of single crystals of n-type and p-type GeBi(4)Te(7), GeSb(4)Te(7) and Ge(Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(4)Te(7) solid solution are reported. Single crystals were grown by the modified Bridgman method, and p-type behavior was achieved

The magnetic properties, electronic band structure and Fermi surfaces of the hexagonal Cr(2)GeC system have been studied by means of both generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the +U corrected method (GGA + U). The effective U value has been computed within the
We demonstrate strong-to-perfect absorption across a wide range of mid-infrared wavelengths (5-12µm) using a two-layer system consisting of heavily-doped silicon and a thin high-index germanium dielectric layer. We demonstrate spectral control of the absorption resonance by varying the thickness of
