The photoluminescence spectra of structures with self-assembled GeSi/Si(001) islands are investigated as functions of the growth temperature. It is shown that the shift of the peak of photoluminescence from islands toward lower energies on decreasing the growth temperature is due to the suppression of Si diffusion into islands and an increase in the fraction of Ge in islands. A photoluminescence signal from the GeSi islands is found in the region of energies down to 0.6 eV, which is considerably smaller than the band-gap width in bulk Ge. The position of the peak of photoluminescence from islands is described well by the model of a real-space indirect optical transition with account of the real composition and elastic strains of the islands. Mono- and multilayer structures are obtained with self-assembled GeSi/Si(001) nanoislands exhibiting a photoluminescence signal in the region 1.3-2 mum at room temperature.
