| Abstract: | The morphology and photoluminescence spectra of GeSi/Si(001) heterostructures with nanoclusters formed by sublimation molecular-beam epitaxy in GeH4 medium are investigated as functions of growth conditions. It is established that the clusters nucleate by the Stranski-Krastanow mechanism; however, the coalescence processes substantially affect their morphology during further growth. Doubling of photoluminescence lines in nanoclusters associated with the radiative recombination inside the clusters and the blue shift of lines with increasing growth time associated with the Si diffusion from substrate into the clusters are observed. The conditions of forming uniform nanocluster arrays emitting at room temperature are determined. |
