RBS, STEM, HRTEM, EDX, Raman and FTIR techniques were employed to analyze the In and Sb atom profiles, structural properties and the elemental composition of nanoparticles, as well as the optical phonons and the optical bandgap of InSb nanocrystals. The diffusion of In atoms from the SiO2 layer to Sb precipitates, formed in the top Si layer during the Sb atom segregation to the Si/SiO2 interface, was established. Cooling the InSb alloy with its subsequent crystallization results in the growth of hydrostatically stressed InSb nanocrystals in the Si matrix at the Si/SiO2 interface.
