Temperature dependent photoluminescence in oxygen ion implanted and rapid thermally annealed ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors investigate the effect of oxygen implantation and rapid thermal annealing in ZnO/ZnMgO multiple quantum wells using photoluminescence. A blueshift in the photoluminescence is observed in the implanted samples. For a low implantation dose, a significant increase of activation energy and a slight increase of the photoluminescence efficiency are observed. This is attributed to the suppression of the point defect complexes and transformation between defect structures by implantation and subsequent rapid thermal annealing. A high dose of implantation leads to lattice damage and agglomeration of defects leading to large defect clusters, which result to an increase in nonradiative recombination. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Photoluminescence and damage recovery studies in Fe-implanted ZnO single crystals
We report Fe-related emission in ion-implanted ZnO single crystals. Iron ions were implanted at room temperature with 100 keV and a fluence of 1310 Fe/cm, and were submitted to annealing treatments in vacuum and in air. After implantation, the damage raises the minimum yield (xmin) from 2% to 50%. Annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere leads to a reduction of the implantation damage, which is ful...
متن کاملSuppression of the internal electric field effects in ZnO/Zn(0.7)Mg(0.3)O quantum wells by ion-implantation induced intermixing.
Strong suppression of the effects caused by the internal electric field in ZnO/ZnMgO quantum wells following ion-implantation and rapid thermal annealing, is revealed by photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence, and band structure calculations. The implantation and annealing induces Zn/Mg intermixing, resulting in graded quantum well interfaces. This reduces the quantum-confined Stark...
متن کاملHigh temperature rapid thermal annealing of phosphorous ion implanted InAs/ InP quantum dots
The effect of high temperature annealing of the InAs/ InP quantum dots QDs containing a thin GaAs interlayer is investigated. The QDs are rapid thermally annealed at 750, 800, 850, and 900 °C for 30 s. The QDs with the GaAs interlayer show good thermal stability up to 850 °C as well as enhanced integrated photoluminescence PL intensity and reduced PL linewidth. The effect of high energy 450 keV...
متن کاملCore-shell multi-quantum wells in ZnO/ZnMgO nanowires with high optical efficiency at room temperature.
Nanowire-based light-emitting devices require multi-quantum well heterostructures with high room temperature optical efficiencies. We demonstrate that such efficiencies can be attained through the use of ZnO/Zn((1-x))Mg(x)O core-shell quantum well heterostructures grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Varying the barrier Mg concentration from x = 0.15 to 0.3 leads to the formation of misf...
