摘要
Stacks of nominally one monolayer thick CdSe sheets, separated by ZnSSe barriers, were grown by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition. Cadmium interdiffusion and interface roughening was minimized at a VI/II ratio close to stoichiometry. CdSe quantum islands formed in the stacked sheets show a strong electronic coupling for barrier thicknesses below 50 Angstrom. The excitonic luminescence of coupled islands is red-shifted with respect to the emission of uncoupled islands. Evidence for rather weak vertical, structural correlation of island coupling is found. Plastic relaxation of larger stacks can be suppressed by strain-compensating barriers. Such stacked CdSe/ZnSSe structures are particularly interesting for lateral excitonic waveguide structures.
