Well-resolved band-edge photoluminescence of excitons confined in strainedSi1x

Abstract: We report the first well-resolved band-edge luminescence from excitons confined in fully strained SiGe quantum wells grown on Si. At liquid-He temperatures the photoluminescence is due to shallow bound excitons, and in addition to a no-phonon line, phonon-assisted transitions involving TA phonons and Si-Si, Si-Ge, and Ge-Ge TO phonons are observed. At higher temperatures the spectra are dominated by free-exciton luminescence. Quantum-confinement effects shift the observed free-exciton edge above the bulk strai… Show more

“…4. In the figure, NP, TA and TO refers to no-phonon, transverse-acoustic phonon-assisted and transverseoptical phonon-assisted transitions, respectively [11]. The full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the PL signal of sample 1 is about 40 meV (as marked in Fig.…”

“…The alloy layer luminescence energy exhibits the same dependence on x as the bulk energy gap, but it is at an overall lower energy Rowell et al, 1990;Sturm et al, 1991;Lenchyshyn et al, 1992). The recombination mechanism can vary depending on the alloy layer thickness, its crystalline quality, and the heterointerface sharpness and can give rise to near band-edge light emission and/or excitonic luminescence (Noël et al, 1992;Lenchyshyn et al, 1993;Rowell et al, 1993).…”

“…Self-assembled Si/ Si1−xGex NSs that can emit light in the optical communication wavelength range of 1.3-1.55 μm are presently well suited for use in CMOS foundries. However, the long carrier radiative lifetimes observed in such Si/Si1−xGex NSs hinder the development of efficient light-emitting devices and, thereby, the construction of lasers (Sturm et al, 1991;Zheng et al, 1994;Lu et al, 1995;Lockwood, 1998;Pavesi et al, 2000;Tsybeskov and Lockwood, 2009). The usual model for radiative recombination in Si/Si1−xGex NSs is based on a type II heterointerface energy band alignment (see Figure 1) (Kamenev et al, 2006;Mala et al, 2013).…”

“…Наряду с линией рекомбинации связанных экситонов в Si-матрице, обозначенной как BE TO Si , в спектрах ФЛ наблюдаются линии, соответству-ющие излучательной рекомбинации экситонов в SiGe КЯ, среди которых наиболее интенсивными являются бесфононная линия QW NP 1,2 и линия, соответствующая рекомбинации с испусканием TO Si−Si фонона (обозна-чена как QW TO 1,2 ). Такой вид спектра межзонной ФЛ является характерным как для SiGe КЯ [11][12][13], так и для объемных образцов SiGe [14].…”
