Description:

(abstract)

We thoroughly investigated Raman peaks of Sb- or Bi-doped Mg2Si single crystals grown by the vertical Bridgman techniques, and clarified the relationship between Raman peak shift and lattice strain using first-principles calculations. Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction revealed that the lattice constant increased monotonically with Sb and Bi doping amounts. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that the F2g mode of Mg2Si (near 258 cm⁻¹) shifted to lower wavenumbers with increasing doping amounts. This peak shift was mainly attributed to the lattice strain, which was revealed by the First-principles calculations. These findings provide the usefulness of Raman spectroscopy for Mg2Si substrates.
