Abstract

A series of pseudomorphic ZnTe/AlSb/GaSb epilayer/epilayer heterostructures, aimed at the realization of novel wide bandgap light emitting devices, were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnTe epilayers showed dominant near-band-edge features related to free, and shallow impurity bound excitons. The PL could be seen at room temperature. Both GaSb and AlSb were doped n-type using a PbSe source.
