The photoluminescence characterization of the N-doped ZnO films produced by wet chemical deposition
2012
The ZnO:N films are prepared by a wet chemical method. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) is used to investigate those ZnO: N films. Due to the introduction of nitrogen atoms into ZnO film, another phase appears in the ZnO film, which can release the stress and improve the film quality. As a result, a neutral donor-bound exciton (D0X) emission peak is shown in low temperature PL spectrum. With the increasing temperature, the D0X line gradually loses its intensity and shifts to 3.30 eV, which is consistent with the well-known conversion from bound exciton to free exciton at elevated temperatures. Then, due to the thermal quenching effect, the D0X line vanishes in room temperature. In addition, no shift is shown in the location of visible band emission and only the intensity decreases with the increasing temperature.
