Abstract

We present a detailed analysis of the compositional dependence of the average over(E, ̄)₁ of the E₁ and E₁+Δ₁ transition energies in Ge_1-x-ySi_xSn_y alloys. We show that this dependence can be explained in terms of three bowing parameters-b^SiGe, b^GeSn, and b^SiSn-which scale with the product ΔχΔR of the Phillips electronegativity and size mismatches between Si, Ge, and Sn.
