In this work we demonstratestrong photoluminescence enhancement in low Sn content Ge0.94Sn0.06 layers by implementing tensilestrain. Fitting of the calculated photoluminescence spectra to reproduce our experimental resultsindicates a strain of ~1.45%, induced via an SiNx stressor layer, which is strong enough to transform theinvestigated layer into a direct bandgap semiconductor. Moreover, theoretical calculations, using the8-band k·p model, show the advantages of using low Sn content tensile strained GeSn layers in respectto gain and lasing temperature. We show that low Sn content GeSn alloys have a strong potential toenable efficient room temperature lasers on electronic-photonic integrated circuits. 000859840 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-521$$a521 - Controlling Electron Charge-Based Phenomena (POF3-521)$$cPOF3-521$$fPOF III$$x0 000859840 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aIkonic, Zoran$$b1 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aElbaz, Anas$$b2 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)161247$$avon den Driesch, Nils$$b3$$ufzj 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)161180$$aStange, Daniela$$b4$$ufzj 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHerth, Etienne$$b5 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBoucaud, Philippe$$b6 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aEl Kurdi, Moustafa$$b7 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)125588$$aGrützmacher, Detlev$$b8$$ufzj 000859840 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)125569$$aBuca, Dan Mihai$$b9$$ufzj 000859840 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2615211-3$$a10.1038/s41598-018-36837-8$$gVol. 9, no. 1, p. 259$$n1$$p259$$tScientific reports$$v9$$x2045-2322$$y2019 000859840 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/859840/files/30035393640008550743INVOIC2676127001001.pdf 000859840 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/859840/files/2019_Rainko_Impact%20of%20tensile%20strain%20on%20low%20Sn%20content%20GeSn%20lasing.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000859840 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/859840/files/30035393640008550743INVOIC2676127001001.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa 000859840 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/859840/files/2019_Rainko_Impact%20of%20tensile%20strain%20on%20low%20Sn%20content%20GeSn%20lasing.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000859840 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:859840$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000859840 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)166341$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000859840 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)161247$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 000859840 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)161180$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b4$$kFZJ 000859840 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)125588$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b8$$kFZJ 000859840 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)125569$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b9$$kFZJ 000859840 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-521$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lFuture Information Technology - Fundamentals, Novel Concepts and Energy Efficiency (FIT)$$vControlling Electron Charge-Based Phenomena$$x0 000859840 9141_ $$y2019 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000859840 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1040$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bZoological Record 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bSCI REP-UK : 2017 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central 000859840 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List 000859840 920__ $$lno 000859840 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-9-20110106$$kPGI-9$$lHalbleiter-Nanoelektronik$$x0 000859840 9201_ $$0I:(DE-82)080009_20140620$$kJARA-FIT$$lJARA-FIT$$x1 000859840 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-10-20170113$$kPGI-10$$lJARA Institut Green IT$$x2 000859840 980__ $$ajournal 000859840 980__ $$aVDB 000859840 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000859840 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-9-20110106 000859840 980__ $$aI:(DE-82)080009_20140620 000859840 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-10-20170113 000859840 9801_ $$aFullTexts
