Crystal structures of the tetragonal forms of germanium and silicon disulfide are similar and consist of (SiS(4))(4-) and (GeS(4))(4-) tetrahedra which share vertices to form three-dimensional networks. These tetragonal materials, synthesized at high pressure and temperature, are different from the previously known germanium and silicon disulfides.

Heteroarene-fused heteroles have attracted considerable attention owing to their unique electronic and photophysical properties. The bridging element plays a crucial role in determining the electronic characteristics of the resulting π-conjugated molecules. In this study, we synthesized a series of heteroarene-fused benzo[b]arsoles and investigated their structures and photophysical properties.

Silicon germanium alloy materials have promising potential applications in the optoelectronic and photovoltaic industries due to their good electronic properties. However, due to the inherent brittleness of semiconductor materials, they are prone to rupturing under harsh working environments, such as high stress or high temperature. Here, we conducted a systematic search for silicon germanium alloy structures using a random sampling strategy, in combination with group theory and graph theory (RG), and 12 stable SiGe structures in 2-8 stacking orders were predicted.

Structural and photoelectric properties of p-i-n photodiodes based on GeSiSn/Si multiple quantum dots both on Si and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates were investigated. Elastic strained state of grown films was demonstrated by x-ray diffractometry. Annealing of p-i-n structures before the mesa fabrication can improve the ideality factor of current-voltage characteristics.

Germanium is known to occupy tetrahedral sites by substituting silicon in germanosilicate zeolites. In this study, we present pioneering findings regarding the synthesis of zeolites with an MFI structure (GeMFI) incorporating a high germanium amount (16% Ge). Remarkably, the germanium atoms feature a slight electron deficiency with respect to GeO, and the typical coordination number of 4, as usually reported for the germanosilicate zeolites, is exceeded, giving rise to Ge dimers in a double-bridge configuration.
