摘要
The temperature-dependent optical properties of ZnO nanosheets and nanowires fabricated on conductive brass substrates with different surface-to-volume ratios and morphologies are investigated. The near band edge and deep-level emission mechanisms are studied. The blueshifted donor bound exciton D (0)X peak and enhanced deep-level emission in the low-temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the nanosheets are due to the large surface-to-volume ratios. Although D (0)X is the dominant emission from both the nanowires and nanosheets at low temperature, the room-temperature spectra are dominated by D (0)X (nanowires) and first order longitudinal optical phonon replica of free exciton (nanosheets). The decay in the D (0)X peak intensity stems from the thermal dissociation of D (0)X to free exciton.
