Plane view transmission electron micrographs revealed the formation of spherically shaped and uniformly distributed Ge NCs. The optical and electronic characteristics of tri-layer structures were studied through photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements, respectively. Frequency dependent electrical properties of the structures have been studied. The optical emission characteristics support the confinement of the carriers in Ge NCs embedded in oxide matrices. An anticlockwise hysteresis in C-V characteristics suggests electron injection and trapping in Ge NCs.
