Cobalt ions were successfully incorporated into the lattice of the ZnO nanostructure without changing its wurtzite structure. It was indicated that Co-doping can effectively adjust the luminescence properties of the ZnO nanostructure. The undoped and Co-doped ZnO photodetectors were observed to have photosensitivities of 1.44 x 104 % and 8.57 x 102 % and low dark currents of 9.74 x 10-8 A and 1.18 x 10-7 A, respectively.展开更多

The prepared samples were annealed at 500 ℃ for 2 h under an N2 flow. The structural, surface morphological, optical, and photoresponse characteristics of ZnO nanostructures as deposited and after annealing were then investigated. The energy bandgaps of all samples after annealing （3.22-3.28 eV） decreased compared with those of the as-deposited specimens. The barrier height increased when the deposition temperature increased and reached 0.77 eV at 400 ℃ after annealing with a leakage current of 0.17 gA at a 5 V bias. The UV photodetector device which was deposited at the optimal temperature of 300 ℃, has 12.51 × 10^3% pho- tosensitivity, 2.259 pA dark current, 0.508 s response time, and 0.466 s recovery time. The dark current significantly decreased for all samples after annealing. The proposed UV photodetectors exhibit high performance, high photosensi- tivity, shorter response and recovery times, and excellent stability at lower bias voltages of 5 and 2 V.展开更多
