The authors report, for the first time, the growth of a metastable CdSe/MgSe quantum well structure by molecular beam epitaxy. The structure was grown on InP substrate with thin ZnCdSe and InGaAs buffers. To maintain the zincblende structure of MgSe (which naturally favors rocksalt structure), a ZnCdSe spacer layer was inserted between CdSe/MgSe quantum wells. The structural and optical properties of the sample were characterized by high-resolution x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements. Intersubband transitions in the near infrared region were observed. (C) 2013 American Vacuum Society.
