  • Abstract
    Triggered electroluminescence is demonstrated in an electrically biased strained Si1-xGex/Si single quantum well where otherwise spatially separated electron-hole pairs created through impact ionization are made to recombine upon removing the bias voltage, paving a way towards on-demand Si-based single photon emitters and optical memory application
