R. Engelhardt et al., 3-DIMENSIONALLY CONFINED EXCITONS IN MOCVD-GROWN ULTRATHIN CDSE DEPOSITIONS IN ZNSSE MATRIX, Journal of crystal growth, 185, 1998, pp. 311-314
Up to 3 monolayer (ML) thick highly strained CdSe insertions in lattic
e matched ZnSSe/GaAs were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposit
ion (MOCVD). The samples show a bright photoluminescence band near the
barrier band edge exhibiting a strong red shift with increasing CdSe
deposition. The assignment to recombinations of three-dimensionally co
nfined excitons is confirmed by cathodoluminescence. An additional-low
energy band appearing for thicker CdSe depositions is attributed to d
efects. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
