摘要
在光电子的 ZnO nanomaterials 的应用仍然由于他们的不够的光致发光效率被限制。以便优化 ZnO nanorods 的光致发光性质,在与在不同离子精力(0.5 keV16 keV ) 的 Ga <sup>+</sup> 离子照耀的关联,在 Si 底层上种的垂直地排列的 ZnO nanorods 的紫外排放在现在的学习被调查。我们发现紫外紧张与增加 Ga <sup>+</sup> 离子精力很快增加了,直到它在 2 keV,在点,紧张比由成长得当的 ZnO nanorods 生产了那高约 50 倍附近的最大值。低精力的 Ga <sup>+</sup> 离子的轻轻的轰炸把缺点从 ZnO nanorod 表面移开。在另一方面, Ga <sup>+</sup> 离子植入进 nanorods,导致压缩紧张。在表面缺点和压缩紧张的介绍的移动之上的水晶格子的完美的安排是贡献紫外轻产生的重要改进的二个因素,这被相信。
Applications of ZnO nanomaterials in optoelectronics are still limited due to their insufficient photoluminescence efficiency. In order to optimize the photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanorods, the UV emission of vertically aligned ZnO nanorods grown on a Si substrate, in correlation with Ga+ ion irradiation at different ion energies (0.5 keV-16 keV), was investigated in the present study. We found that the UV intensity increased rapidly with increasing Ga+ ion energy, up to its maximum around 2 keV, at which point the intensity was approximately 50 times higher than that produced by as-grown ZnO nanorods. The gentle bombardment of low-energy Ga+ ions removes defects from ZnO nanorod surfaces. The Ga+ ions, on the other hand, implant into the nanorods, resulting in compressive strain. It is believed that the perfect arrangement of the crystal lattice upon removal of surface defects and the introduction of compressive strain are two factors that contribute to the significant enhancement of UV light generation.
