ABSTRACTNowadays, the nature of the non radiative recombination centres in ZnO is a matter of controversy; they have been related to extended defects, zinc vacancy complexes, and surface defects, among other possible candidates. We present herein the optical characterization of catalyst free ZnO nanorods grown by atmospheric MOCVD by microRaman and cathodoluminescence spectroscopies. The correlation between the defect related Raman modes and the cathodoluminescence emission along the nanorods permits to establish a relation between the non radiative recombination centers and the defects responsible for the local Raman modes, which have been related to Zn interstitial complexes.

AbstractCathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used to investigate the effect of doping with an isoelectronic dopant, aluminum, on the native acceptors and on the general structure of extended defects of gallium antimonide single crystals. While there is no significant change in the native defect content, decoration of non-radiative recombination centers or extended defects occurs as a result of aluminum doping.

AbstractRaman scattering from LayRxMnO3-δ compounds (single crystals, ceramics, films) was studied as a function of kind (R) and amount (x) of dopant as well as of oxygen deficit (δ). For x = 0.1 to 0.55, a nearly linear Raman shift of the Ag mode from 240 to 125 cm−1 was observed in Srdoped compounds. While the intensity of disorder-induced Raman bands was found to be sensitive to the oxygen content, the symmetry allowed related Raman modes exhibit the changes in the frequency. As an indication of deposition conditions, lowering of a symmetry of the film structures with respect to single crystals and ceramics was detected. We discuss the physical nature of the observed effects and show how Raman data can be used for the optical characterization of manganite samples.

The structure of various inclusions in SiC epitaxial layers grown on 4o offcut substrates was investigated using three advanced techniques. Using micro-Raman spectroscopy, the observed inclusions exhibited a complex structure having either different SiC polytypes like 3C or 6H or they were misoriented 4H-SiC inclusions. The UVPL images showed dislocations and other extended defects around the inclusion-related defects, and strain fields were observed in the x-ray topographs near the defect sites. Spectral UVPL imaging shows features with varying luminescence inside the inclusion related defects which propagate and may cause deformation in the crystalline structure and lead to non-radiative recombination centers within the defect.
