摘要
Using photoelectron spectroscopy, we have investigated the band alignment at the interface of pseudomorphic BeTe/ZnSe(100) heterojunctions for different interface terminations. The heterostructures of high structural quality have been produced by molecular beam epitaxy; the interface termination was adjusted by variation of the growth parameters between the growth process of ZnSe and BeTe. The valence band offset for a Zn-rich BeTe/ZnSe interface is determined to be 1.26+/-0.15 eV, for the Se-rich BeTe/ZnSe interface a value of 0.46+/-0.15 eV is obtained. Our results show that the band alignment can be modified by the interface composition even for isovalent heterostructures. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
