Abstract

We have investigated hexagonal Germanium/Silicon-Germanium nanowire quantum well heterostructures using photoluminescence. Bright light emission and varying quantum confinement with well thickness are observed which are characteristics indicative of a direct bandgap Type I nature of the hex-Ge/SiGe QW system.
