Growth and characterization of planar hexagonal Ge on CdS

Hexagonal group-IV semiconductors have attracted increasing interest owing to their unconventional electronic and optical properties compared to the cubic diamond phase.

Hexagonal group-IV semiconductors have attracted increasing interest owing to their unconventional electronic and optical properties compared to the cubic diamond phase. However, the stabilization of these metastable allotropes in planar heterostructures remains a major…
