Abstract
We have calculated the valence band structures in CdxZn1-xS/ZnS quantum wells (QWs). The coupling effect appears between the heavy-hole and light-hole subbands. The variation of the slope of E–k|| dispersion curves reflects the variation of the heavy- and light-hole masses in the CdxZn1-xS wells. The optical gain formation requires a higher carrier concentration than that of the GaAs-based QWs.
