We demonstrate the crossover from indirect- to direct band gap in tensile-strained germanium by temperature-dependent photoluminescence. The samples are strained microbridges that enhance a biaxial strain of 0.16% up to 3.6% uniaxial tensile strain. Cooling the bridges to 20 K increases the uniaxial strain up to a maximum of 5.4%. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence reveals the crossover to a fundamental direct band gap to occur between 4.0% and 4.5%. Our data are in good agreement with new theoretical computations that predict a strong bowing of the band parameters with strain.

Band structure of strained Ge$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$ alloy: a full-zone 30-band $k\cdot p$ model
A 30-band k.p model with linearly interpolated parameters predicts band gaps of strained GeSn alloys across the full Brillouin zone and matches selected experiments.
