Band offsets and exciton confinement in Zn1−yCdySe/Zn1−xMnxSe quantum wells

Abstract
Optical characteristics of a new, weakly strained wide‐gap II‐VI quantum well have been studied with emphasis on the confined exciton states. Strong luminescence efficiency in the blue is observed with spectra showing only weak alloy disorder effects. Magneto‐optical studies yield a measurement for the band offsets in a model which properly includes exciton effects.
