Self-assembled germanium pyramid

A self-assembled germanium "pyramid" (base 10 nanometers x 10 nanometers) on silicon. The nanoscale pyramid of germanium atoms is formed spontaneously atop a ground of silicon. Each small sphere represents an atom. This finding could help researchers develop new generations of tinier electronic ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
