Properties of excitons in quantum well structures of ZnCdSe/ZnSe and ZnSe/ZnMgSSe are compared. In ternary ZnCdSe quantum wells and at low temperature excitons are strongly localised. Weaker localization is observed in quantum well structures of ZnSe/ZnMgSSe. Present studies suggest formation of negatively charged excitons in the latter structures.
