Novel CdTe/CdMgTe Graded Quantum Well Structures

We report on growth and magnetooptical studies of two types of novel CdTe/CdMgTe quantum well structures having a precisely controlled grading of either the quantum well width or the donor concentration in a direction perpendicular to the growth axis. The presence of two-dimensional electron gas of varying concentration produced by the graded modulation doping was evidenced by observation of negatively charged exciton-electron complexes (X¯).
