Abstract

In this paper, a reproducible method for the growth of high quality ZnS, ZnCdS and ZnMgS epilayers on GaP(1 0 0) substrates is described resulting in lattice matched ZnMgS and ZnCdS epilayers showing both excellent DCXRD peaks and optical properties. ZnMgS/ZnS and ZnS/ZnCdS quantum wells (QWs) have been produced. While the ZnS QWs show excellent full-width at half-maximum, strong broadening is observed in the latter system which is believed to arise from strain induced inhomogeneities in the alloy composition.
