ZnO quantum wells

par sinfo - publié le , mis à jour le

ZnO quantum wells grown along the (c) axis present a strong spontaneous polarization, as well as a strain-dependent piezo-electric polarization. Our experience on nitride quantum wells allowed us to unambiguously determine the value of the corresponding internal electric field in ZnO/(Zn,Mg)O hetero-structures, and its variation with the Mg content in the barriers. We now focus on ZnO heterostructures grown on other crystalline planes.

Comparison with calculated values (lines) within the envelope function formalism for an internal electric field of 0.9 MV/cm. The green dotted line indicates the exciton energy in bulk ZnO. - © L2C
