Impact of Long-Term Annealing on Photoluminescence from Ge<sub>1−x</sub>Sn<sub>x</sub> Alloys

We report on the connection between strain, composition, defect density and the photoluminescence observed before and after annealing at 300 °C for GeSn samples with Sn content of 8% to 10%. Results show how the composition and level of strain influenced the separation between the indirect and direc...
