Abstract

Zn 1− x Mn x Se thin films with different Mn compositions are grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on GaAs substrate. Good crystallinity of sample is evidenced by X-ray diffraction and rocking-curve measurements. Photoluminescence (PL) properties were carefully studied. A dominant PL peak close to the band edge is observed at low temperature for samples with higher Mn concentration. The temperature-dependent PL and time-resolved photoluminescence show that this emission peak is associated with the recombination of exciton bound to Mn-induced impurity bound states. It is found that rapid thermal annealing can induce reorganization of Mn composition in alloys and significantly reduce the density of impurity induced by Mn incorporation and improve the intrinsic interband transition.
