Spectral Photoresponse Of ZnSe/GaAs(001) Heterostructures With CdSe Ultra-thin Quantum Well Insertions

摘要

We present a study of the spectral photoresponse (SPR) of ZnSe/GaAs(001) heterostructures for different ZnSe film thickness with and without CdSe ultra-thin quantum well (UTQW) insertions. We observe a significant increase of the SPR of heterostructures containing 3 monolayer thick CdSe UTQW insertions; these results encourage their use in photodetectors and solar cells.
