摘要
Material and optical characterizations have been conducted for epitaxially grown Ge1-xSnx thin films on Si with Sn composition up to 10%. A direct bandgap Ge0.9Sn0.1 alloy has been identified by temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) study based on the single peak spectrum and the narrow line-width. Room temperature PL emission as long as 2230 nm has also been observed from the same sample. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
