Effect in Changes of Conduction and Valence Band Offsets on Exciton Binding Energy in CdxZn1-xSe/ZnSySe1-y Single Quantum Wells

We calculate the induced-strain effects in CdxZn1-xSe/ZnSySe1-y single quantum wells (SQWs). The conduction (Vc) and valence (Vh) band offsets in this system depend greatly on the alloy contents x and y. The variation in exciton binding energy due to the variations in Vc and Vh with varying y is very small.
