Abstract

ZnTe/ZnMnTe single quantum well of high quality was grown by hot-wall epitaxy, in which ZnMnTe layer was used as a barrier. It was found that ZnTe well layer was under severe strain. Very sharp luminescent peaks of the heavy-hole exciton (el-hhl) and the light-hole exciton (el-lhl) were observed from the photoluminescence (PL) measurement. As the well layer thickness increases, the peaks associated with excitons of (el-hhl) and (el-lhl) were shifted toward the lower energy side. The temperature dependence of the PL peak intensity was well explained by the thermal activation theory.

희박 자성 반도체 ZnMnTe를 장벽층으로 사용한 양질의 ZnTe/ZnMnTe 단일 양자우물 구조를 열벽적층 성장법으로 성장하였다. 고분해능 X-선 회절측정 결과 ZnTe 우물층이 강하게 스트레인을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 광발광 측정으로부터 무거운 양공 엑시톤 (el-hhl)과 가벼운 양공 엑시톤 (el-lhl)의 매우 뾰족한 발광 크들이 나타남을 관측하였다. 또한 우물층의 두께가 증가함에 따라 (el-hhl)과 (el-lhl)의 엑시톤 관련 피크들은 낮은 에너지 쪽으로 이동하였다. 광발광 피크 세기의 온도에 따른 변화는 운반자들의 열적 활성화로 설명할 수 있었다.
