Growth of α-Sn on silicon by a reversed β-Sn to α-Sn phase transformation for quantum material integration
Abstract
α-Sn and SnGe alloys are a promising new class of quantum materials, but device integration requires they be grown on silicon. Here, germanium-doped α-Sn is grown on a native oxide on a silicon substrate via a reversed β-Sn to α-Sn phase transformation.
