From Spirocyclic Germanium Alkoxides to their Fluorido Germanates
Spirocyclic germanium salicyl alcoholates potentially meet the requirement as molecular precursors for twin polymerization, which is defined as a concerted formation of two polymeric materials from a so‐called twin monomer. Two examples of such germanium alkoxides and their associated fluorido germanates are reported and aspects of their chirality and ...

Efficient In Situ Doping of Strained Germanium Tin Epilayers at Unusually Low Temperature
Efficient p‐ and n‐type in situ doping of compressively strained germanium tin (Ge1‐xSnx) semiconductor epilayers, grown by chemical vapor deposition on a standard Si(001) substrate, is demonstrated. Materials characterization results reveal unusual impact of dopants manifesting via a pronounced reduction of Sn content in the epilayer, accompanied by ...
