Abstract

Radiative recombination of two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG), induced by polarization and validated by Hall effect measurements, is investigated in ZnMgO/ZnO heterostructures grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The Mg composition, the depth profile distribution of Mg, the residual strain in ZnMgO caplayer, and the thickness of caplayer all significantly influence the 2DEG-related transitions in ZnMgO/ZnO heterostructures. Below or above ZnO donor bound exciton, three additional broad emissions persisting up to 100 K are assigned to the spatially indirect transitions from 2DEG electrons to the photoexcited holes towards the ZnO flat-band region or remaining at the heterointerface.
