Popis: | A significant enhancement of photoluminescence (PL) intensity is observed in microdisks of 0.5 and 1 μm diam, which have been fabricated from Si/Ge/Si single quantum wells (SQWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The three major PL peaks found at 0.972, 0.957, and 0.920 eV are identified as a no-phonon transition of localized exciton, associated transverse-acoustical, and transverse-optical phonon replicas in Si, respectively. It is suggested that the formation of microdisks from the Si/Ge/Si SQWs enhances the intrinsic PL transitions significantly by suppressing the impurity-related ones. |
