One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures (nanowires/nanorods) are attractive materials for applications such as gas sensors, biosensors, solar cells, and photocatalysts. This is due to the relatively easy production process of these kinds of nanostructures with excellent charge carrier transport properties and high crystalline quality. In this work, we review the photoluminescence (PL) properties of single and collective ZnO nanowires and nanorods. As different growth techniques were obtained for the presented samples, a brief review of two popular growth methods, vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and hydrothermal, is shown. Then, a discussion of the emission process and characteristics of the near-band edge excitonic emission (NBE) and deep-level emission (DLE) bands is presented. Their respective contribution to the total emission of the nanostructure is discussed using the spatial information distribution obtained by scanning transmission electron microscopy−cathodoluminescence (STEM-CL) measurements. Also, the influence of surface effects on the photoluminescence of ZnO nanowires, as well as the temperature dependence, is briefly discussed for both ultraviolet and visible emissions. Finally, we present a discussion of the size reduction effects of the two main photoluminescent bands of ZnO. For a wide emission (near ultra-violet and visible), which has sometimes been attributed to different origins, we present a summary of the different native point defects or trap centers in ZnO as a cause for the different deep-level emission bands.

ABSTRACTThe temperature and excitation intensity dependence of photoluminescence (PL) spectra have been studied in thin films of SiC grown by chemical vapor deposition on Si (100) substrates. The low power PL spectra from all samples exhibited a donor-acceptor pair PL band which involves a previously undetected deep acceptor whose binding energy is approximately 470 meV. This deep acceptor is found in every sample studied independent of growth reactor, suggesting the possibility that this background acceptor is at least partially responsible for the high compensation observed in Hall effect studies of undoped films of cubic SiC.

ABSTRACTZnO nanowires (NWs) were fabricated on Au coated sapphire (0001) substrates by using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system in vacuum furnace with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. ZnO NWs have various size and shape with a substrate position inside a furnace, and their morphologic construction is reproducible. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicate that the diameters of ZnO NWs ranged from 100 to 150 nm and the average length was greater than 3 μm. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the NWs show the near band-edge emissions and the deep-level green light emissions. The formation mechanism of the NWs is discussed.

AbstractWe report on the fabrication and characterisation gallium nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (0001) oriented sapphire and (111)B GaAs substrates. The current voltage characteristics of the devices grown on sapphire show turn on voltages of between 4 and 5V with large on-series resistance of 600Ω; for corresponding devices grown on GaAs these parameters are between 6 and 7V and 150 Ω, respectively.Room temperature electroluminescence (EL) spectra from the GaN LEDs ,grown on sapphire substrates, show a dominant emission at 3.2 eV (397nm) with a full width half maximum (FWHM) of 335 meV which is attributed to free electron to acceptor transitions (e, A−Mg). A broad low intensity deep level emission is also observed centred at 2.4 eV (506nm). The peak of the EL from the devices grown on GaAs is at 3.1eV rather than 3.2eV. The differences between the two sets of devices are probably caused by the different device geometry.Preliminary results show that an “annealing” effect caused by electrical stressing resulted in an improvement of the EL spectra. The stressed samples show an increase in the near band edge emission intensity, a 20meV reduction in the FWHM and a significant reduction in the intensity of the deep level emission. The devices have a large 1/f noise contribution which does not appear to change after electrical stressing.
