Abstract

Photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra have been employed to study the phonon emission process in a ZnSe-Zn0.75Cd0.25Se double-superlattice at 1.4 K. Since the excitation energy is higher than the excitonic energy of the superlattice sample, excitons with a large kinetic energy will be generated. These excitons will then decay by emitting mainly longitudinal optical phonons and reach the bottom at K = 0. The transitions of n = 1 heavy- and light-hole hot excitons from a narrow well. superlattice are observed through the LO-phonon energy m (h) over bar omega. The results show that the n = 2 heavy-hole excitonic band (E-2hh(1)) in the wide well superlattice (SL1) reabsorbs the radiation, generated by both, the n = 1 light-hole (E-11h(2)) and heavy-hole (E-1hh(2)) excitonic bands of an adjacent narrow well superlattice (SL2).
