FIG. 3.9 The energy gaps measured at Γ and L valley (a) as a function of Sn content in Ge(1−x)Snx alloy (b) as a function of in-plane biaxial compressive strain for in Ge0.92Sn0.08. As seen ∼6.5% Sn in Ge bring the Γ valley down to L valley, thus converting it to direct bandgap (a). Larger compressive strain (>0.32%) change the nature of the bandgap (direct to indirect) (b) ( Gupta et al., 2013a ).
