Article Synopsis
- Silicon has traditionally been used in a cubic diamond lattice structure, making it an indirect-bandgap semiconductor that struggles with efficient light emission.
- Recent experiments have successfully demonstrated effective light emission from hexagonal germanium (Ge) and silicon-germanium (SiGe) alloys, achieving a radiative recombination lifetime of less than a nanosecond.
- The ability to tune the emission wavelength of hexagonal SiGe alloys while maintaining a direct bandgap suggests great potential for integrating electronic and optoelectronic functions in advanced devices.
