摘要
The effects of mechanical polishing on the photoluminescence (PL) from each polar face of wurtzite-structure ZnO are presented. Differences observed for the 4.2 K PL of a mechanically polished surface when compared to that of a chemomechanically polished surface include broadened bound-exciton peaks, hot-exciton luminescence, and a donor-acceptor pair peak at 3.2108 eV. Analysis of this donor-acceptor pair peak results in estimated donor and acceptor ionization energies of 52+/-10 and 230+/-10 meV, respectively, with a mean separation distance between pairs of approximately 3-4 nm. The donors and acceptors are attributed to point defects introduced by dislocation motion during the polishing process and identified as octahedral Zn interstitials and Zn vacancies, respectively.
