In recent years, electroluminescent devices of ZnO have
been the
focus of attention and research. In this paper, we fabricated a ZnO:Ga
microwire/p-type gallium nitride heterojunction light-emitting diode
and found a lasing emission near the silver electrode. We interpret
this lasing as trap-state FP-mode lasing because a series of small
peaks appear in the spectrum and the positions of three lasing peaks
are close to the emission peak from the trap state. After sputtering
gold on the surface of the ZnO:Ga microwire, the luminescence of the
device was enhanced and anomalous spectral signals appeared at a reverse
current of 20 mA. The luminescence enhancement is due to the hot electron
transfer induced by plasmons, and the strange spectral phenomenon
was attributed to the Fano resonance caused by plasmon–microcavity
coupling. The above research can provide some guidance for the design
of LEDs and laser devices.
