ZrO$_2$ nanotubular arrays with intrinsic defects are a promising solid-state basis for the development of devices detecting, storing, and converting energy. Layers self-ordered zirconia nanotubes 5 $\mu$m length 30 nm diameter, containing oxygen vacancies their complexes, have been synthesized by anodic oxidation. The spectrally resolved TSL (thermally stimulated luminescence) above room tempe...
