Abstract
We study exciton states in Zn(Cd)Se/ZnMgSSe quantum wells (QWs) with various degrees of diffusion blurring in the interfaces by the methods of optical spectroscopy. We show that at low temperatures the QW emission spectra are determined by free and neutral donor-bound excitons. Blurring of the heterointerfaces leads to the increase in the energy shift between the emission line maxima of free and bound excitons. We explain the nonlinear dependence of the steady-state photoluminescence intensity on the excitation-power density in terms of the neutralization of charged donors at the photoexcitation of heterostructures. We observed a complex long-time dynamics of the reflection coefficient, evoked by the charge-redistribution processes in the heterostructure, near the QW exciton resonances under the irradiation.
