Abstract

Room temperature current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were studied across the thickness of the Ge nanocrystalline films, prepared by the cluster beam evaporation technique. The films thus prepared are deposited either at room temperature (Ge-RT) or at liquid nitrogen temperature (Ge-LNT). Ge-LNT nanofilm is subjected to oxidation while Ge-RT did not get oxidized. Steps were observed in the I-V characteristics of the thin Ge- LNT samples suggesting the Coulomb Blockade effect.
