摘要
Hi h-quality ZnM-O/ZnO quantum wells (QWs) showing no phase separation were grown on Al2O3(0001). Growth temperature was shown to play a major role in the stabilisation in the wurtzite phase of ZnMgO barrier layers as well as in their Surface morphology. Such effects were seen in X-ray diffraction, RHEED, AFM and PL Studies. Whereas the electronic propel-ties of the narrow QWs are governed by quantum confinement effects with excitonic emission energies above that of ZnO, the electronic properties of wider QWs (>3 nm) are governed by the quantum confined Stark effect and can therefore emit several hundreds of meV below the band gal) of ZnO. This is a direct consequence of the very large built-in electric field of about 1 MV/crn developed in ZnMgO/ZnO QWs grown along the c-direction. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
