Effects of the band offset, sublattice periodicity and the lateral lattice constant on the transition energies have been investigated. They found that GemSin superlattices grown on Ge (001) can have a direct band gap, if m+n=10 and m=6. However, optical matrix elements for in-plane and perpendicular polarized light are negligible for the transition from the highest valence band to the lowest conduction band state at the centre of the superlattice Brillouin zone.EnglishEmpirical Tight-Bonding MethodHigh Carrier Mobility Direct-Band SemiconductorSuperlattice Brillouin ZoneLight - Brillouin ScatteringSemiconductor Materials - Charge CarriersSuperlatticesReview10.1088/0268-1242/6/7/014
