We explain the mechanisms by which thick monocrystalline layers can form. We correlate the crystalline quality with the optical properties by photoluminescence at 12 K. Polycrystalline and monocrystalline films exhibit dissimilar photoluminescence below the bandgap at 1.37 and 1.30 eV, respectively. Band edge luminescence at 1.5 eV is only detected for monocrystalline samples.
