摘要
We have studied the luminescence property of ZnO single crystals by means of cathodoluminescence. It was found that hydrogen plasma strongly passivates the green emission and enhances the excitonic luminescence of ZnO. The band edge luminescence shows strong temperature dependence after hydrogenation and its intensity at low temperatures becomes remarkably high. The effect of hydrogenation disappears by an annealing at 700 degrees C, which indicates hydrogen is rather strongly bound to the centers for green emission. This study indicates that the passivation of deep levels is the key for the application of ZnO crystals for the ultraviolet Light source.
