β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes structural and optical investigations of molecular beam epitaxy grown strained ZnSe/(Zn,Cd)Se quantum wells. Strain state, cadmium content, and quantum well layer thickness have a strong influence on the emission energy, which allows a luminescence tuning between 2.25 and 2.50 eV. Furthermore a ZnSe based microcavity structure completed with ZnS/YF 3 distributed Bragg mirrors was processed. These reflectors are an alternative to several epitaxial grown II-VI materials and other reported approaches with respect to oxide layers. A blueshift in the photoluminescence emission energy measured by angle resolved microcavity detuning indicates an influence of the cavity mode on the quantum well mode.

A parameter set was found which allows depositing ZnSe thin films with good properties to be used as buffer layer in solar cells with ZnO/ZnSe/CIGS structure. In this way, the ZnSe compound could be used in substitution of the CdS which is a toxic material generally used as buffer layer in Cu(In,Ga)
The optical and structural properties of ultrathin insertions in wide-bandgap semiconductors are studied. Structural investigations confirm that in nitride-based structures indium fluctuations lead to the formation of nano-islands. The zero-dimensional character in nitride-and II-VI-based quantum do
