A. Reznitsky et al., CIRCULARLY-POLARIZED EXCITON EMISSION AND FINE-STRUCTURE OF THE LUMINESCENCE BAND IN ZN1-XCDXSE ZNSE MQWS/, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 869-870
Circular polarization of exciton photoluminescence (PL) in MBE grown Z
nCdSe/ZnSe MQWs at T = 2K has been studied in Faraday configuration up
to 7 T. We have found that in strong magnetic fields the PL band shap
e is sensitive to polarization sign of circularly polarized exciting l
ight. On this basis, we were able to decompose the PL band into two co
mponents of approximately equal intensity and width (FWHM = 12 meV) bu
t with the maxima separated by 7 meV. In accordance with different fie
ld dependence of polarization degree for the two bands, the high-energ
y component has been assigned to emission of excitons localized by com
positional and/or well-width fluctuations (LE), while the other compon
ent was attributed to excitons bound to neutral donors (D-x(O)). Elect
ron and hole g-factors as well as the relaxation times and parameters
of energy-spin diagram for LE have been estimated.
