Direct gap photoluminescence of n-type tensile-strained Ge-on-Si

Room temperature direct gap photoluminescence (PL) was observed from n-type tensile-strained epitaxial Ge-on-Si. The PL intensity increases with n-type doping due to a higher electron population in the direct Γ valley as a result of increased Fermi level. The direct gap emission also increases with...
