Abstract

Optical properties in undoped-ZnO epilayers grown by the laser-molecular-beam epitaxy method on lattice-matched ScAlMgO4 substrates were investigated. The absorption spectrum at 5 K has two sharp peaks, both of which are attributed to resonances of A and B excitons, which reflect a small nonradiative damping constant of excitons as well as high film crystallinity accomplished by the virtue of lattice matching. The coupling strengths of exciton-acoustic phonon and of exciton–longitudinal-optical phonon were directly determined from the temperature dependence of exciton absorption spectra independently for A and B excitons, which are close in energy and obey the same selection rule for each other.
