Abstract
Resonant photoluminescence and excitation spectroscopy and time-resolv ed photoluminescence are performed on a 50 Angstrom thick ZnSe/(Zn, Mn )Se strained quantum well. From these experiments, the existence of a relaxation from a type-II heavy-hole bound interface exciton to a type -I light-hole exciton is demonstrated. The time transfer from the heav y-hole exciton to the light-hole exciton is found to be of the same or der of magnitude as the recombination time of the heavy-hole exciton. This transfer is enhanced when temperature increases.
