摘要
用分子束外延生长了不同组分x的Zn1-xMnxSe外延膜和Zn1-xMnxSe/ZnSe超晶格.由于Zn1-xMnxSe的能隙Eg随组分变化在低组分区形成弓形,且弓形的范围随温度变化的反常特性,首次在光致发光谱(PL)中观测到当温度升高时,Zn1-xMnxSe/Znse超晶格中由ZnSe为阱、Zn1-xSe为垒转换成Zn1-xSe为阱,ZnSe为垒.瞬态光致发光结果表明,Zn1-xMnxSe/ZnSe超晶格中Mn++离子的激发态弛豫时间远大于Zn1=xMnxSe外延模中Mn++离子的弛豫时间,这可能是由于超晶格中界面效应引起Mn++离子间交换相互作用改变所致.
Abstract Zn1-xMnxSe films and Zn1-xMnxSe/ZnSe superlattices with different composition x have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE).Superlattice structure withsmall values of x transfered from ZnSe as well to Zn1-xMnxSe as well has been observedfor the first time by PL measurements when the temperature increases.It is due to theanomalous behavior of energy gap at low x in Zn1-xMnxSe,which forms a bowing regionand the shape of this bowing and the dip in energy are dependent strongly as the temperature varies.It has been found by time-resolved photoluminescence spectra that the relaxation time of Mn++ ions excited states is much longer in superlattices than in films.This may be contributed to lowdimensional scaling effect on the exchange interaction between Mn++ ions.
