Influence of surface structure on the phonon-assisted emission process in the ZnO nanowires grown on homoepitaxial films

We carried out temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements to investigate the influence of surface roughness on the phonon-assisted emission of the surface-tailored ZnO nanowires (NWs). For the rough ZnO NWs, the observation of strong defect emission with vibration peaks by the exciton-phon...

description We carried out temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements to investigate the influence of surface roughness on the phonon-assisted emission of the surface-tailored ZnO nanowires (NWs). For the rough ZnO NWs, the observation of strong defect emission with vibration peaks by the exciton-phonon coupling reflects the presence of a high density of surface defects, resulting in a rapid shift to lower energy region of free exciton emission and a strong contribution of the first order phonon-assisted free exciton in ultraviolet emission. This investigation indicates that the surface defects associated with roughness have a significant influence on the phonon-assisted exciton emission. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
