            Abstract : 
Direct-gap photoluminescence and electroluminescence has been observed in Ge1-ySny alloys. The emission in both cases is dominated by direct transitions exhibiting the expected compositional dependence. The data are consistent with the expected reduction of the Γ-L separation.
