Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence study of zinc oxide nanorods catalytically grown on p-type 4H-SiC
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical properties of ZnO nanorods (NRs) grown by vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) technique on 4Hp-SiC substrates were probed by cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements at room temperature and at 5 K complemented with electroluminescence. At room temperature the CL spectra for defect related emission intensity was enhanced with the electron beam penetration depth. We observed a variation in defect related green emission along the nanorod axis. This indicates a relatively poor structural quality near the interface between ZnO NRs and p-SiC substrate. We associate the green emission with oxygen vacancies. Analysis of the low-temperature (5 K) emission spectra in the UV region suggests that the synthesized nanorods contain shallow donors and acceptors.

High quality ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown by the vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) technique on 4H-p-SiC substrates. Heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated. Electrical characterisation including deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) complemented by photolumincence (PL) are used to characterize the heterojunction LEDs. On contrary to previously published results on n-ZnO thin fi...
