Ge∕Si structures grown on oxidized Si surfaces are studied by means of photoluminescence (PL). High-temperature annealing of the structures leads to the increase of their PL intensity by at least one order of magnitude at energies around 0.82eV. It is suggested that relaxation of strain, existing in our structures due to the Ge∕Si lattice mismatch, occurs through the formation of defects such as interstitial clusters in the Si layer capping the layer of Ge islands. These defects in conjunction with oxygen complexes of the rest of the Si oxide film provide the intense PL in the D1 range.
