“…Recently, in an Auger electron spectroscopy study the complementarity of both methods was analyzed 28 . Besides determination of the optical properties 14,15,23,29 , frequently in SiGe alloys 6,11,12 , used in optics or optoelectronics, optical methods are also capable of indirectly determining material properties, such as the crystallinity 19 , disorder 30 or crystal size 7 . Finally, there are numerous electrical characterization methods for the quality control of Ge and Ge NC-based devices.…”
