abstract = {The local ordering of atoms in alloys directly has a strong
impact on their electronic and opticalproperties. This is
particularly relevant in nonrandom alloys, especially if
they are deposited far fromthe equilibrium processes, as is
the case for epitaxial Ge1−xSnx layers. In this work, we
investigate thearrangement of Ge and Sn atoms in
optoelectronic grade Ge1−xSnx epitaxial layers featuring a
Sn contentin the $5–14\%$ range by using
polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy and
density-functional-theorycalculations. The thorough analysis
of the polarization-dependent spectra in parallel and
perpendicularconfiguration allowed us to properly tag all
the observed vibrational modes, and to shed light on that
associatedto disorder-assisted Raman transitions. Indeed,
with the help of large-scale atomistic simulations,we were
able to highlight how the presence of Sn atoms, that modify
the local environments of Ge atoms,gives rise to two
spectral features at different Raman shifts, corresponding
to distortions of the atomicbonds. This analysis provides a
valuable framework for advancing the understanding of the
vibrationalproperties in Ge1−xSnx alloys, particularly
with regard to the impact of local ordering of the
differentatomic species.},
