Direct bandgap type-I GeSn/GeSn quantum well on a GeSn- and Ge- buffered Si substrate

This paper reports the comprehensive characterization of a Ge0.92Sn0.08/Ge0.86Sn0.14/Ge0.92Sn0.08 single quantum well. By using a strain relaxed Ge0.92Sn0.08 buffer, the direct bandgap Ge0.86Sn0.14 QW was achieved, which is unattainable by using only a Ge buffer. Band structure calculations and opti...
