abstract = {The Stranski–Krastanow growth of SiGe islands by
deposition of SiGe alloys instead of pure Ge allows us to
control both the Ge concentration and gradient in the
islands. In contrast to the commonly found increasing Ge
content with island height, growth conditions for islands
with nearly constant and even decreasing Ge profile along
the growth direction were found. Atomic force microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution x-ray
diffraction were employed to determine the islands' size,
shape, lateral distance and Ge composition. Efficient
photoluminescence is emitted from these islands. We show
that for islands with higher Ge contents at the bottom than
at the apex, transitions between heavy holes and electron
$Δ_{xy}$ states in the compressive Si regions around the
island's circumference dominate the photoluminescence
spectra instead of the usually observed recombination
between heavy holes and electrons in the $Δ_z$ valleys in
the tensile Si above the island's apex. The relative
importance of the $Δ_{xy}$ transitions is enhanced for
lateral island distances less than 10 nm, where
overlapping strain fields of neighbouring islands increase
the compressive strain in the Si region between them. At
intense photoexcitation, recombinations between electrons in
the $Δ_z$ valleys and light holes within the islands appear
in the photoluminescence spectra. These so far, for SiGe
islands, unobserved transitions were identified by a
quantitative modelling of the band structure within the
islands and in the surrounding Si matrix based on full 3D
simulations using the nextnano$^3$ package with the
experimentally obtained island shape and composition as
input parameters.},
