Abstract

Here, we explore experimentally and theoretically the possibility to prolong the upper hole state nonradiative lifetime of Si/SiGe quantum cascade (QC) structures by using a spatially indirect diagonal transition between two SiGe quantum well ground states. With the recent observation of well resolved midinfrared electroluminescence from heavy hole intersubband transitions in Si/SiGe valence-band ...
