摘要
We report growth of high quality ZnO/Zn0.8Mg0.2O quantum wells on M-plane oriented ZnO substrates. The optical properties are studied by reflectance spectroscopy. The optical spectra reveal strong in-plane optical anisotropies, as predicted by group theory, and clear reflectance structures, as an evidence of good interface morphologies. Signatures of confined excitons built from spin-orbit split-off valence band, analogous to C-exciton in bulk ZnO, are detected using a light polarized along the c-axis. Experiments performed in orthogonal polarization, show confined states analogous to A and B bulk excitons. Envelope function calculations including excitonic interaction nicely match the experimental results. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3565969]
