38. During the course of the experiments, we ran out of PVP/HDE copolymer and ordered more. The second batch of polymer led to branching of the nanorods. It was then found that reducing the amount of this polymer used from 0.67 to 0.5 g eliminated the branching and led to the highest quality nanorods.
39. From the JCPDS file (00-004-0545) for diamond cubic Ge, the expected (220)/(111) peak intensity ratio is 0.57 compared to the measured value of 0.37 in Figure 2.
