George Serghiou in the School of Engineering together with colleagues from the School of Geosciences and three other leading research institutions in Germany and France have identified a surprising new experimental route to bulk solid solution formation.

Figure A: Researchers have found a surprising route to the creation of new solid solutions, using elements within the so-called 'Ge-Sn system'.  Figure B: Known cubic diamond-structured Si (c-Si) and new bulk cubic diamond-structured GeSn (c-GeSn).
