Abstract

We have investigated the epitaxial growth of Zn_1-x Cd _xSe epilayers and ZnSe/Zn_1-x Cd_xSe superlattices (0≤x≤1) on (100)GaAs. Although thick epilayers of Zn _1-x Cd_xSe are prone to defect formation with increasing Cd content, the structural and optical characteristics improve remarkably when Zn_1-x Cd_xSe is in the form of thin layers within ZnSe/Zn_1-x Cd_xSe superlattices. High quality superlattices can be grown for x≤0.35. The characterization of these systems using transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, reflectivity, and photoluminescence is reported.
