Determination of the spontaneous polarization of wurtzite (Mg,Zn)O

We report on the experimental determination of the spontaneous polarization of wurtzite-
(Mg,Zn)O by examination of the recombination dynamics of polar ZnO/(Mg,Zn)O quantum wells
(QWs). The thickness-dependent decay time of the unscreened single-exciton states inside the
QWs was modeled by a self-consistent solution of Schrödinger- and Poisson-equation to deduce
the total polarization across the QW for different Mg-contents inside the barriers. By the separation
of the piezoelectric components of the polarization, a linear increase in spontaneous polarization
with increasing Mg-content x of P/x = (0.151 ± 0.015) C/m2 was determined for Mgx Zn1−x O.
