摘要
A vapor phase transport growth process has been developed to synthesize ZnO quantum dots (QDs) on Si substrates. The characteristics were investigated for as-prepared ZnO QDs without any additional treatment. The formation of ZnO QDs with 6 nm in height and 15 nm in diameter is confirmed by scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscopy. Room-temperature photoluminescence reveals that the as-prepared ZnO QDs exhibit a predominant ultraviolet emission at 3.32 eV while the low energy defect-related blue-green emission is significantly quenched. The band gap of ZnO QDs is determined to be 3.41 eV, which evidently indicates the quantum confinement effects.
