Abstract—A study is reported on the dependence of exciton photoluminescence spectra of ZnS–ZnSe quantum
wells with different localization-center concentrations on the excitation intensity and temperature. The shape
of the experimental low-temperature photoluminescence band is shown to agree well with that calculated in a
model of exciton hopping to the nearest localization center and in one that takes into account transitions of a
localized exciton to all centers in its local environment. The parameters characterizing localized excitons in
these quantum structures of a submonolayer thickness have been determined. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interpe-
