摘要
Single-phase ZnCdO alloys with a band gap extending from the violet to yellow spectral range are fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy using extremely low growth temperatures in conjunction with O-rich growth conditions. The Cd concentration can be systematically adjusted via the Cd/Zn beam pressure ratio. Despite growth temperatures as low as 150 degrees C, layer-by-layer growth is accomplished allowing for the preparation of ZnCdO/ZnO quantum well structures. Both epilayers and quantum wells exhibit strong band-gap-related emission at room temperature in the whole composition range. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
