Abstract

SimGen strained monolayer superlattices (SMS) have been fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and characterized using photoluminescence (PL). Symmetrically strained structures with different periodicities have been grown on top of a Si1−xGex alloy buffer layer. Luminescence features below (above) the Si (Ge) energy bandgap have been observed and attributed to either dislocations in the buffer layer or to energy band transitions in the SMS.
