摘要
Photoluminescence from ZnO thin films deposited on (0001) sapphire substrates by vapor phase growth using a zinc acetate precursor under four different conditions is studied at 9 K and at room temperature. All the films exhibit an intense band-edge emission and extremely weak deep-level emission at 9 K. Clear free-exciton emission is observed at 9 K even at an excitation density as low. as 20 W/cm(2) on the films annealed at 700degreesC at atmospheric oxygen pressured At room temperature, the integrated intensity ratio of deep-level emission to band-edge emission varies from 1/20 to 1.5 depending on growth conditions. Stimulated emissions due to exciton-exciton scattering and electron-hole plasma are observed at room temperature.
