초록

희박 자성 반도체 ZnMnTe를 장벽층으로 사용한 양질의 ZnTe/ZnMnTe 단일 양자우물 구조를 열벽적층 성장법으로 성장하였다. 고분해능 X-선 회절측정 결과 ZnTe 우물층이 강하게 스트레인을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 광발광 측정으로부터 무거운 양공 엑시톤 (el-hhl)과 가벼운 양공 엑시톤 (el-lhl)의 매우 뾰족한 발광 크들이 나타남을 관측하였다. 또한 우물층의 두께가 증가함에 따라 (el-hhl)과 (el-lhl)의 엑시톤 관련 피크들은 낮은 에너지 쪽으로 이동하였다. 광발광 피크 세기의 온도에 따른 변화는 운반자들의 열적 활성화로 설명할 수 있었다.

ZnTe/ZnMnTe single quantum well of high quality was grown by hot-wall epitaxy, in which ZnMnTe layer was used as a barrier. It was found that ZnTe well layer was under severe strain. Very sharp luminescent peaks of the heavy-hole exciton (el-hhl) and the light-hole exciton (el-lhl) were observed from the photoluminescence (PL) measurement. As the well layer thickness increases, the peaks associated with excitons of (el-hhl) and (el-lhl) were shifted toward the lower energy side. The temperature dependence of the PL peak intensity was well explained by the thermal activation theory.
