چکیده

We observe ultraviolet photoluminescence from sputtered ZnO quantum dots which are fabricated with no annealing steps. The nanocrystals are embedded in amorphous SiO2 and exhibit a narrow size distribution of 3.5 ± 0.6 nm. Photoluminescence and transmittance measurements show a shift of ultraviolet emission and absorption of the dots compared to bulk ZnO material. This work paves the way for cheap nanooptical devices in the ultraviolet which are fabricated in a single sputtering run.

Photoluminescence investigation of the carrier recombination processes in ZnO quantum dots and nanocrystals

The carrier recombination processes in ZnO quantum dots 4 nm in diameter , ZnO nanocrystals 20 nm in diameter and bulk ZnO crystal have been studied using photoluminescence PL spectroscopy in the temperature range from 8.5 to 300 K. The obtained experimental data suggest that the ultraviolet PL in ZnO quantum dots originates from recombination of the acceptor-bound excitons for all temperatures...

High temperature acidic oxidation of multiwalled Carbon nanotubes and synthesis of Graphene quantum dots

The acid oxidation of carbon nanotube generally results in opening the close ends of the nanotube and to make surface modifications. Herewith, Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized in acids at high temperature experimental conditions which led to the formation of graphene quantum dots (GQDs).   High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectro...

High density GaN/AlN quantum dots for deep UV LED with high quantum efficiency and temperature stability

High internal efficiency and high temperature stability ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at 308 nm were achieved using high density (2.5 × 10(9) cm(-2)) GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs) grown by MOVPE. Photoluminescence shows the characteristic behaviors of QDs: nearly constant linewidth and emission energy, and linear dependence of the intensity with varying excitation power. More signi...
