摘要: Abstract Growth mode changeover during gas source molecular beam epitaxy of Ge on Si(100) is explored by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with a subatomic layer resolution. By observing confinement effect and development island-related emissions increasing coverage in Si/pure-Ge/Si quantum wells, the onset island formation determined to be 3.7 monolayers (ML). Furthermore, equilibrium critical thickness for found lower, i.e. 3.0 ML, adopting growth interruption after growth. Intense quantum-confined PL clearly observed at room temperature from islanded dot character, demonstrating potential islands as efficient light emitters.
