Abstract

ZnOZn_0.85Mg_0.15O asymmetric double quantum wells (ADQWs) were fabricated on an m-plane Al₂O₃ substrate by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (P-MBE). The ADQW structures were confirmed by comparing the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the ZnOZn _0.85Mg_0.15O MQWs and ZnOZn_0.85Mg _0.15O ADQWs. The exciton tunnelling properties of the ADQWs were studied by means of temperature-dependent PL spectra. The carrier tunneling through the thin barrier is conducive to stimulated emission in the wide wells (WWs) of the ADQWs. The origin of the stimulated emission is excitonexciton scattering in the WWs of ADQWs.
