We report low-temperature (4.2 K) cyclotron resonance measurements on high-
mobility, two-dimensional electron gases in modulation-doped ZnSe/Zn1-xCdxS
e (x = 0.06, 0.12, and 0.24) single quantum wells, as well as in a modulati
on-doped ZnTe/CdSe single quantum well. These experiments carried out in ma
gnetic fields ranging up to 17 T yield reliable measurements of the effecti
ve mass m(*) of conduction-band electrons in Zn1-xCdxSe alloys, including t
he measurement of m* in cubic CdSe. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
