Effects of Temperature on the Morphology and Optical Properties of Spark Discharge Germanium Nanoparticles

We report the spark discharge synthesis of aerosol germanium nanoparticles followed by sintering in a tube furnace at different temperatures varying from 25 to 800 °C. The size, structure, chemical composition and optical properties were studied. We have demonstrated a melting mechanism of nanoparti...
