Enhancement of band gap emission stimulated by defect loss

Abstract: Defect radiation has been always considered as the most important loss for an emitter based on band gap emission. Here, we propose a novel approach which goes against this conventional wisdom. Based on the resonance effect between the surface plasmon of metal nanoparticles and defect emission, it is possible to convert the useless defect radiation to the useful excitonic emission with a giant enhancement factor. Through the transfer of the energetic electrons excited by surface plasmon from metal nanoparticles… Show more

“…In the Ag/ZnO nanostructure, the Fermi level of Ag is near some defect levels (2.25 eV and 2.46 eV) of ZnO 26,27 (Fig. 6(b)); therefore, electrons can be transferred from the ZnO defect levels to the Fermi level of Ag, where these electrons are excited by incident light.…”

“…Characteristic peaks for the Au and Zn moieties are confirmed by the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum in Figure 7 b, indicating that Au NPs are successfully introduced to the ZnO nanorings. Such hybrid Au-ZnO nanostructures may exhibit unique photocatalytic activity, [59][60] enhanced light emission, [61][62] or surface-plasmon-resonance-based sensing properties. [63][64] …”

“…In addition, another important factor is a large number of carriers' recombination, which resulted in low fluorescence efficiency. Therefore, considerable efforts have been made to enlarge the absorption spectrum in UV region to enhance fluorescence efficiency of ZnO NRs [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
