We report on MBE growth and study of optical and structural properties of (ZnSe/MgS)/ZnCdSe distributed Bragg reflectors with λ=520 nm and R_{max}=97%. The samples were grown pseudomorphically on GaAs substrate using ZnS as a sulphur source. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and optical measurements showed good optical and structural characteristics of the Bragg reflectors.

Three main stages of the intrinsic morphology transformation of MBE grown CdSe fractional monolayers in ZnSe with increase in their nominal thickness w in the 0.1-3.0 monolayer range were found using both structural and optical characterization techniques. Emergence of the extended (15-30 nm) CdSe-enriched quantum-dot-like pseudomorphic islands at w>0.7 monolayer with the density increasing up to 2.5×10^{10} cm^{-2} at w=2.8 monolayer is clearly displayed in the optical properties of CdSe fractional monolayer nanostructures. The below critical thickness CdSe fractional monolayers having extremely high quantum efficiency can be very perspective as an active region of ZnSe-based blue-green lasers.

Room-temperature optically pumped (Zn,Mg)(S,Se)/(Zn,Cd)Se laser structures have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Using of alternatively-strained short-period superlattice waveguide results in low threshold power density values over the whole blue-green (470-520 nm) wavelength range. Incorporation of CdSe fractional monolayer active region provides more than fourfold further decrease in threshold with respect to quantum well laser structure. Optical and structural properties of laser structure with 2.8 monolayer CdSe are discussed in detail.

This paper reports on theoretical calculations and fabrication by molecular beam epitaxy of wide-gap II-VI heterostructures emitting in the "true" yellow range (560-600 nm) at room temperature. The active region of the structures comprises CdSe quantum dot active layer embedded into a strained Zn_{1-x}Cd_{x}Se (x=0.2-0.5) quantum well surrounded by a Zn(S,Se)/ZnSe superlattice. Calculations of the CdSe/(Zn,Cd)Se/Zn(S,Se) quantum dot-quantum well luminescence wavelength performed using the envelope-function approximation predict rather narrow range of the total Zn_{1-x}Cd_{x}Se quantum well thicknesses (d ≈ 2-4 nm) reducing efficiently the emission wavelength, while the variation of x (0.2-0.5) has much stronger effect. The calculations are in a reasonable agreement with the experimental data obtained on a series of test heterostructures. The maximum experimentally achieved emission wavelength at 300 K is as high as 600 nm, while the intense room temperature photoluminescence has been observed up to λ =590 nm only. To keep the structure pseudomorphic to GaAs as a whole the tensile-strained surrounding ZnS_{0.17}Se_{0.83}/ZnSe superlattice were introduced to compensate the compressive stress induced by the Zn_{1-x}Cd_{x}Se quantum well. The graded-index waveguide laser heterostructure with a CdSe/Zn_{0.65}Cd_{0.35}Se/Zn(S,Se) quantum dot-quantum well active region emitting at λ =576 nm (T=300 K) with the 77 to 300 K intensity ratio of 2.5 has been demonstrated.

The studies of structural and optical properties of molecular beam epitaxy grown pseudomorphic hybrid structures with AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well placed closely to the GaAs/ZnSe heterointerface are presented. The interfaces were formed in different ways (Zn or Se initial GaAs surface exposure, different growth temperature and ZnSe growth mode) on As-rich c(4×4) and (2×4) GaAs surfaces. It has been demonstrated that the photoluminescence intensity from the near-heterointerface GaAs QW is influenced most significantly by the procedure of ZnSe growth initiation. The bright photoluminescence (77 K) from the near-interface GaAs quantum well is observed if the Se-decoration procedure is used during the GaAs/ZnSe heterointerface formation on (2×4)As GaAs surface. It reduces noticeably if the GaAs reconstruction changes to c(4×4)As and disappears completely when Zn pre-exposure of GaAs surface is used. These effects are discussed in terms of different ratio of Ga-Se and As-Zn bonds at the GaAs/ZnSe heterointerface resulting in different band offsets and/or uncompensated built-in electric fields.

The characteristics of ZnSe-based electron beam pumped semiconductor lasers are presented in detail. The laser structures consist of a 0.6 μm thick superlattice waveguide centered with ten equidistantly placed CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot active layers. The maximum light output pulse power of 12 W per facet at room temperature along with an extremely high quantum efficiency of ≈8.5% were obtained at an electron beam pumping energy of 23 keV (the laser wavelength is of 542 nm). The calculations of a spatial distribution of non-equilibrium carrier concentration within the semiconductor structures under electron beam pumping are presented. The possible ways of further improvement of laser efficiency are discussed.

We report on molecular beam epitaxy of CdSe/CdMgSe heterostructures on InAs(001) substrates and studies of their optical and structural properties. The CdMgSe energy gap versus composition dependence is determined. The zinc-blende MgSe band-gap energy and optical bowing parameter are estimated to be 4.05 eV and 0.2 eV, respectively. The CdSe quantum wells embedded into CdMgSe barriers demonstrate intense photoluminescence. Effective mass approximation calculations of electron-heavy hole optical transitions in CdSe quantum well are in a good agreement with the experimental data obtained.

We report on design and fabrication of alternately-strained ZnS_xSe_{1-x}/CdSe short period superlattices with the effective band-gap 2.52, 2.58, and 2.61 eV and the total thickness ≈300 nm. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence measurements reveal negligibly small density of misfit dislocations in the superlattices. The investigation of carrier transport along the superlattice growth axis, performed by the photoluminescence measurements of a superlattice with one enlarged quantum well, confirms efficient Bloch-type transport at temperatures above ≈ 100 K. Such superlattices look promising for the applications as a material for the wide band-gap photoactive region of a multi-junction solar cell comprising both III-V and II-VI materials.

We report on comparative studies of CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy either with or without predeposition of a sub-monolayer-thick CdTe layer (stressor). Also we consider the structure grown in a thermal activation mode. Emission properties of individual quantum dots are investigated by micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy using 500 nm apertures opened in a non-transparent gold mask. The density of emitting quantum dots and the spectral width of the single-dot emission lines are estimated.

Miniband transport in alternatively-strained ZnCdSe/ZnSSe short period superlattices is investigated using a structure with an enlarged quantum well. Temperature dependences of time-resolved and continuous wave photoluminescence have been measured, demonstrating an efficient temperature-induced vertical hole transport. A quantitative description is given for the carrier kinetics in these structures.
