Abstract

We describe the photoluminescence and reflectance properties of Zn1 - xMnxSySe1 - y grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (100) GaAs substrates. A range of compositions has been explored with lattice constants ranging from 5.48 to 5.71 Å, and 300 (1.7) K bandgaps ranging from 2.68 (2.79) to 3.43 (3.65) eV. A multiple quantum well heterostructure with ZnSe wells exhibits quantum confinement up to 2.91 eV. The material is of potential interest as a lattice-matched cladding layer in ZnSe-based separate confinement heterostructure short wavelength lasers.
