摘要：

ZnO single crystal thin films were grown by plasma enhanced molecular beam epitaxy on (0 0 0 1) sapphire. The growth modes of ZnO epilayers were investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction. A transition from two-dimensional nucleation to three-dimensional nucleation is found at the initial growth stage. Optical properties of the films, studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy, exhibit a dominant bound exciton emission at 3.361 eV at 4 K, and a deep level emission centered at 2.42 eV which is associated with either impurities or native defects. The deep level emission which is successfully suppressed to 1/500 of intensity of the excitonic emission. Fabrication of these high-quality ZnO epilayers had lead to observation of stimulated emission at room temperature.
