Abstract

In this letter we report photoluminescence and structural results obtained on asymmetrically strained Si0.7Ge0.3/Si single and multiple quantum wells epitaxially grown by low pressure chemical vapor deposition. Well-resolved peaks were obtained which can be attributed to quantum well excitons and their transversal optical phonon replica. A good correlation between peak properties and structure results was found. From the photoluminescence peak energies a valence band offset of 0.27 eV and an effective hole mass of 0.25 were estimated.
