摘要
Bulk ZnO of high structural and optical quality can be grown by the hydrothermal method. An X-ray rocking-curve linewidth of 18 arcsec has been measured for the (002) reflection, and a photoluminescence linewidth of 0.3 meV has been found for one of the donor-bound exciton lines. However, the electrical properties are unusual in that shallow donors are not dominant, as is the case for vapor-phase-grown and melt-grown bulk crystals. This situation can be greatly modified by annealing in forming gas (5% H-2 in N-2) at T-A >= 600 degrees C, with bulk shallow donors then becoming completely dominant for T-meas > 50 K, and near-surface donors at lower temperatures. As T-A is varied from 100-650 degrees C, both the mobility and carrier concentraticm vary in nonmonotonic fashion, due to changes in the relative strengths of the bulk and surface components of conduction.
