摘要
A CaF2/Ge/CaF2/Si(111) heteroepitaxial structure with Ge quantum dots was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. A negative differential conductivity and conductivity oscillations caused by resonant hole tunneling were observed at room temperature. The energy spacing between the levels in quantum dots, as determined from the oscillation period, is 40-50 meV depending on the Ge dot size. (C) 2004 MAIK "Nauka / Interperiodica".
