Zn1(xMnxSe (x ( 0.78) epilayers were grown on the GaAs (001) substrate with tilt angle 0, 3, 10, and 15 degrees toward [001] by molecular beamepitaxy. The reflectivity, transmission, and photoluminescence experimentswere used to measure the energy gap of the epilayers. A red shift of 4 meV was found as the substrate tilt angle increase from 0 to 15 degrees. The red shift in band gap energy is attributed to the increasing incorporation of smaller Zn ion with the increase in the kink density which results from theincrease in the substrate tilt angle. In addition, the 30 pairs of ZnSe/Zn0.77Mn0.23Se layers were grown on the GaAs substrate. The excitonic transition of the ZnSe/Zn0.77Mn0.23Se superlattices structures was 2.79 eV, which is 22 meV lower than that of ZnSe epilayer. Current result implies the band alignment of ZnSe/Zn0.77Mn0.23Se superlattices structures is type-II.
