Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We have investigated a series of CdTe/Cd1-xZnxTe strained-layer superlattices grown with low Zn concentrations (x<0.15). From differential spectroscopy techniques (wavelength modulations and piezomodulations) we identify all heavy-hole and light-hole exciton transitions. Confinement levels have been obtained by envelope-function calculations using a transfer-matrix algorithm. These levels depend not only on the barrier height, the layer thickness, and the material parameters, but also on the growth strain that rules the quadratic deformation in each layer (CdTe or Cd1-xZnxTe). From the comparison between the calculated transition energies and the experimental values obtained on a series of superlattices, we first deduce a weak chemical valence-band offset between the two materials. We also make an accurate estimation of the binding energies of heavy- and light-hole excitons as a function of the superlattice period, and finally derive the combined conditions of strain and period that control the type (I or II) of a CdTe/(CdZn)Te strained-layer superlattice. © 1993 The American Physical Society.
