Photoluminescence and magneto-optical properties of multilayered type-II ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots

چکیده
Multilayered Zn–Se–Te structures grown by migration enhanced epitaxy are studied by temperatureand excitation-dependent photoluminescence (PL) as well as magneto-PL. The PL consists of two bands: a blue band, overlaid with band edge sharp lines, dominant at low temperatures and high excitation, and a green band, which appears at elevated temperature and low excitation. Upon varying excitation intensity by four orders of magnitude, the green band peak energy shifts by ∼60 meV, indicating recombination of excitons in type-II quantum dots (QDs); no significant shift is observed for the blue band. Therefore, the green emission is attributed to ZnTe/ZnSe type-II QDs, which coexist with isoelectronic centers, responsible for the blue and band edge emissions. The existence of type-II ZnTe/ZnSe QDs is further confirmed by magneto-PL, for which the observed oscillations in the PL intensity as a function ofmagnetic field is explained in terms of the optical Aharonov–Bohm effect. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملModulation of the Aharonov–Bohm effect in type-II II–V ZnSe: Te quantum dots by a far-infrared laser
We present magneto-photoluminescence of a ZnTe/ZnSe multilayer structure in which the clustering of Te atoms results in the formation of columns of type-II ZnSe:Te quantum dots. This unique geometry permits the observation of strong Aharonov–Bohm oscillations in both the emission energy and peak intensity with increasing magnetic field. Furthermore, far-infrared optically detected resonance tec...
متن کاملRole of magnesium in band gap engineering of sub-monolayer type-II ZnTe quantum dots embedded in ZnSe
Modification of the bandgap of sub-monolayer type-II ZnTe quantum dots (QDs), by means of direct incorporation of magnesium in the QDs, is reported. Nitrogen co-doped QDs embedded in a ZnSe matrix have been grown by a migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy technique. Incorporation of Mg in the ZnTe QDs decreases the valence band discontinuity, leading to reduced localization of the holes, wh...
متن کاملAharonov-Bohm excitons at elevated temperatures in type-II ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots.
Optical emission from type-II ZnTe/ZnSe quantum dots demonstrates large and persistent oscillations in both the peak energy and intensity indicating the formation of coherently rotating states. Furthermore, these Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are shown to be remarkably robust and persist until 180 K. This is at least one order of magnitude greater than the typical temperatures in lithographically ...
