Abstract

A systematic study of the spacial origin to various luminescence peaks in a strain-symmetrized Si6Ge4 superlattice have been perfomed by varying the wavelength of the excitation laser and by selectively etching the sample layer-by-layer and continuously measuring the luminescence. From these measurements we were able to identify the no-phonon luminescense from the superlattice, the defect related L-line luminescence from the constant-composition alloy buffer, and dislocation related D1 and D2 bands in the graded buffer.
