Abstract

Raman scattering and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy on Ge clusters and ultrathin films before and after H chemisorption reveal the significant changes in the vibrational and electronic densities of states with size. These effects are attributed to the large fraction of surface dangling bonds and the important role of short range order changes on physical properties.
