Abstract
Highly strained Ge1-xSnx films were epitaxially grown on Ge(001), with x up to 0.17. Good crystalline quality and a relatively flat surface were obtained. Critical temperatures exist for Sn segregation for various x. XPS shows that the Sn surface segregation could occur at temperatures as low as 400 °C for Ge0.932Sn0.068.
