摘要：
We have investigated by low-temperature photoluminescence and reflectivity spectroscopies a series of Zn1-xBexSe alloys with x up to 0.70. This allows us to locate precisely the direct-to-indirect band-gap crossover at x = 0.46+/-0.01. We demonstrate that above this composition the indirect band gap corresponds to a Gamma-->X transition. By extrapolation we determine the Gamma-->X band gap of BeSe at 3.75+/-0.1 eV. Finally, we find a bowing parameter b = 0.97 eV for the Gamma-->Gamma direct band gap in the whole composition range. For x less than or equal to 0.60, this band gap increases linearly with the Be content at a rate of 23 meV/% Be.
