ZnO-based materials are promising for the realization of optoelectronic devices operating in the UV. ZnO has a band gap energy of about 3.4eV, a large exciton binding energy of 60meV and a high material quality due to recently improved growth methods. Hence, a detailed understanding of the optical properties and carrier dynamics in this system is crucial to further optimize growth procedures and device performance. Here we present time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of the hetero- and homoepitaxially grown ZnO quantum wells and (ZnMg)O barrier layers. Our results show a strong correlation between the substrate and the material quality for the quantum well system. In the case of the (ZnMg)O barriers, post-growth annealing significantly improves the material quality. In addition a structural phase separation is observed as the annealing temperature exceeds 950°C.
