Research Abstract |
This study focuses on development of magneto-optical materials based on a quantum well structure. We fabricated ZnCoO/ZnO quantum wells with spatial separation between magnetic ions and excitons. ZnO and ZnCoO were used as well and barrier layers, respectively. ZnCoO acts as a quantum barrier for ZnO and shows large s,p-d exchange interaction. Furthermore, band offset between ZnCoO and ZnO was determined as 160 meV, as measured by x-ray photo-emission spectroscopy. From x-ray diffraction, we confirmed high crystallinity of ZnCoO/ZnO superlattices. Finally, we observed a spin-related Zeeman splitting at the band edge of the quantum wells. However, excitonic emissions from the quantum wells were suppressed because of charge-transfer excitation in a Co ion.
