Abstract

There has been a considerable progress in the photoluminescence (PL) properties investigations of SiGe/Si and Ge/Si structures of late. The PL investigations of Ge-Ge1-xSix structures with quantum wells in germanium layers have been started recently1,2. This work reports the studies of the exciton and magnetoexciton luminescence of Ge-Ge1-xSix heterostructures grown by CVD method on Ge [111] substrates.
