The photoluminescence of ZnO powders at room temperature upon excitation by microsecond pulses from the region of interband transitions and the region of exciton absorption has been studied. In the luminescence spectra, two regions characteristic of ZnO are observed: a short-wavelength region associated in the literature with exciton luminescence, and a long-wavelength region due to the presence of growth structural and impurity defects. The observed long-wavelength glow is divided into components with different glow durations, and several components that form this glow are identified. Experimental results and an analysis of the energy of formation and survival of the main structural defects make it possible to explain the luminescence of ZnO with allowance for the participation of only defects in the anionic sublattice and excitons in the process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
