Abstract
The carrier recombination dynamics in Zn1-xCdxSe/ZnSSe/ZnMgSSe quantum wells (QW) were studied through time-resolved photoluminescence measurements performed at a room temperature as a function of carrier density. The carrier density in the QWs was varied between 5×109 and 5×1012 W/cm-2. A simple rate equation model determined the radiative and the non-radiative recombination coefficients to be 8×10-4 cm2/s and a Shockley-Read-Hall of 7.3×107/s in the best material. The analysis suggested that a bimolecular recombination model best describe the radiative recombination in II-VI QWs.
