Photoluminescence (PL) of ZnO thin films prepared on c-Al2O3substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are investigated. For all samples, roomtemperature (RT) spectra show a strong band-edge ultraviolet (UV) emission with a pronounced low-energy band tail. The origin of this UV emission is analyzed by the temperature dependence of PL spectra. The result shows that the UV emission at RT contains different recombination processes. At low temperature donor-bound exciton (D0X) emission plays a major role in PL spectra, while the free exciton transition (FX) gradually dominates the spectrum with increasing temperatures. It notes that at low temperature an emission band (FA) appears in low energy side of D0X and FX and can survive up to RT. Further confirmation shows that the origin of the band FA can be attributed to the transitions of conduction band electrons to acceptors (e, A0), in which the acceptor binding energy is estimated to be approximately 121 meV. It is concluded that at room temperature UV emission originates from the corporate contributions of the free exciton and free electrons-to-acceptor transitions.

Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared through sol-gel method and spin-coating technique. ZnO thin films then were annealed at temperature of 350°C, 400°C, 450°C and 500°C. The thin films were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and photoluminescence (PL) spectrofluorometer for morphology and optical properties study. The morphology study indicates that the particle size of ZnO increased with annealing temperatures. All thin films are optically transparent (~ 80 % in transmittance) in the visible light-NIR region. PL spectra reveal improved UV emission with annealing temperatures up to 500°C.
