The optical and electronic properties of semiconducting materials are of great importance to a vast range of contemporary technologies. Diamond-cubic germanium is a well-known semiconductor, although other 'exotic' forms may possess distinct properties. In particular, there is currently no consensus for the band gap and electronic structure of ST12-Ge (tP12, P43212) due to experimental limitations in sample preparation and varying theoretical predictions. Here we report clear experimental and theoretical evidence for the intrinsic properties of ST12-Ge, including the first optical measurements on bulk samples. Phase-pure bulk samples of ST12-Ge were synthesized, and the structure and purity were verified using powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Raman and wavelength/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Optical measurements indicate that ST12-Ge is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 0.59 eV and a direct optical transition at 0.74 eV, which is in good agreement with electrical transport measurements and our first-principles calculations.

奇异的亚稳态 ST12 锗同素异形体的特性。



半导体材料的光学和电子特性对于许多当代技术都非常重要。金刚石立方锗是一种众所周知的半导体,尽管其他“奇异”形式可能具有不同的特性。特别是,由于样品制备的实验限制和不同的理论预测,目前对 ST12-Ge (tP12, P4 3 2 1 2) 的带隙和电子结构尚未达成共识。在这里,我们报告了 ST12-Ge 固有特性的明确实验和理论证据,包括对块状样品的首次光学测量。合成了 ST12-Ge 的相纯块状样品,并使用粉末 X 射线衍射、透射电子显微镜、拉曼和波长​​/能量色散 X 射线光谱验证了结构和纯度。光学测量表明ST12-Ge是一种间接带隙为0.59 eV、直接光学跃迁为0.74 eV的半导体,这与电输运测量和我们的第一性原理计算非常吻合。
