Popis: We have epitaxially grown ZnMgTe ternary alloys, whose Mg content is between 0% and 50%, on (100) GaAs substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The band-gap energy estimated from the emission wavelength at room temperature can be varied from 2.26 to 2.57 eV. In the photoluminescence (PL) measurements at 4.2 K, band-edge emission was clearly observed up to Mg content of 25%. The refractive index decreases as Mg content increases. In the PL spectra of double heterostructures of ZnTe ZnMgTe at 4.2 K, strong emission and quantum size effect were observed. These results suggest that effective carrier and optical confinement are possible.
