In this paper, we present a detailed structural, morphological, and compositional study on CoxGey formation on Ge(001) at room temperature metal deposition and subsequent annealing. Scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy electron diffraction clearly demonstrate that room temperature deposition of approximately four monolayers of Co on Ge(001) results in the Volmer Weber growth mode, while subsequent thermal annealing leads to the formation of a Co-germanide continuous wetting layer which evolves gradually towards the growth of elongated CoxGey nanostructures. Two types of CoxGey nanostructures, namely, flattop- and ridge-type, were observed and a systematic study on their evolution as a function of temperature is presented. Additional transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements allowed us to monitor the reaction between Co and Ge in the formation process of the CoxGey continuous wetting layer as well as the CoxGey nanostructures.]]> Fri 10 Nov 2023 15:56:45 AEDT ]]>
