Abstract

The application of time-resolved luminescence techniques is illustrated for two superlattice structures, based on ZnSe/(Zn,Mn)Se and CdTe/ZnTe heteropairs, respectively, In the quantum well limit, both structures share in common strong excitonic character in their recombination spectra at low lattice temperatures. In the (Zn,Mn)Se the Mn-ion d-electron transition provides an alternate path for electronic energy relaxation. More generally, in II-VI strained layer superlattices with small valence band offset we find that excitonic localization phenomena are important and are directly accessible through time-resolved study.
