AI-generated Key Points
- The study investigates photoluminescence (PL) of structures consisting of a semimagnetic barrier, an intermediate nonmagnetic barrier, a quantum well, and a layer at low temperature.
- The rate of shift in different PL bands is estimated as a function of magnetic field and thickness of the intermediate barrier.
- Deformation caused by adjacent layers plays a crucial role in forming Mn complexes in the semimagnetic barrier layer.
- Changes in band gap and donor/acceptor level energies due to biaxial compression caused by the intermediate barrier are analyzed.
- The effect of giant Zeeman splitting on energy levels within the structure is significantly affected by the intermediate barrier.
- The results indicate that the intermediate barrier not only determines luminescence properties but also affects polarization and movement of energy levels within the quantum well exciton emission under magnetic fields.
Abstract: Photoluminescence (PL) of the 50 nm $Zn_{0.9}Be_{0.05}Mn_{0.05}Se$/ $d$ nm $Zn_{0.943}Be_{0.057}Se$/ 2.5 nm $ZnSe$/ 30 nm $Zn_{0.943}Be_{0.057}Se$ structures is investigated as a function of magnetic field ($B$) and thickness ($d$) of intermediate $Zn_{0.943}Be_{0.057}Se$ nonmagnetic barrier between the $Zn_{0.9}Be_{0.05}Mn_{0.05}Se$ semimagnetic barrier and $ZnSe$ quantum well at the temperature 1.2 K. The rate of the shift of different PL bands of the structures under study is estimated in low and high magnetic fields. The causes of the shift rate increase under pass from low to high magnetic fields are interpreted. The peculiarities of the effect of the intermediate barrier on the luminescence properties of the structures are presented. It is shown that deformation of adjacent layers by the barrier plays a crucial role in the formation of these properties, especially in forming the $Mn$ complexes in the $Zn_{0.9}Be_{0.05}Mn_{0.05}Se$ layer. The change of the band gap as well as of the donor and acceptor levels energies under the effect of biaxial compression of the $Zn_{0.9}Be_{0.05}Mn_{0.05}Se$ layer by the $Zn_{0.943}Be_{0.057}Se$ are estimated. It is concluded that the $Zn_{0.943}Be_{0.057}Se$ intermediate barrier also appreciably changes the effect of giant Zeeman splitting of the semimagnetic $Zn_{0.9}Be_{0.05}Mn_{0.05}Se$ barrier energy levels on the movement of the energy levels of $ZnSe$ quantum well in a magnetic field and on polarization of the quantum well exciton emission.
