磁控溅射方法生长的氮氧锌薄膜的光学特性

氧化锌(ZnO)是一种具有六方结构的宽禁带Ⅱ--Ⅵ族半导体材料，室温下能带带隙Eg为3.37eV。由于氧化锌在室温条件下具有较高的激子束缚能(60meV)，保证了其在室温下较强的激子发光。此外氧化锌还具有较高的热稳定性和抗化学腐蚀特性，因而被认为是制作紫外半导体激光器的合适材料。自1997年首次发现ZnO室温紫外受激发射以来，ZnO已成为继GaN之后紫外发射材料的又一研究热点。但是，目前对于p型氧化锌及其发光器件的研究仍处于探索阶段，对其光电特性的研究仍需要更多投入。本文利用磁控溅射方法制备出氮氧锌薄膜样品，并通过在氧气气氛下退火处理，改变薄膜样品中氮的含量。通过X射线衍射谱、X射线光电子能谱、光致发光谱及喇曼光谱的测试，研究了氮在氧化锌薄膜中的含量变化以及氮对氧化锌薄膜的结构和光学特性的影响。

通过飞秒泵浦探测技术研究PbS纳米颗粒的激发态瞬态动力学过程

利用飞秒泵浦探测技术研究了PbS半导体纳米颗粒复合的SiO₂溶胶凝胶薄膜的瞬态动力学过程。通过改变激发探测波长和激发光强度,研究引起PbS半导体纳米颗粒的非线性吸收的两种机制。当激发探测波长选在激子吸收峰附近(620nm)时,由于激子的饱和吸收引起的光致漂白,当激发波长选在激子能态的低能侧(753,800nm),同时观察到激子的饱和吸收和双激子效应引起的光致吸收。研究了激子的饱和吸收和双激子效应引起的激发态吸收随激发态电子-空穴对浓度的变化关系,表明双激子效应与载流子浓度有很大关系。在高激发强度下,双激子效应引起的诱导吸收远远大于激子跃迁引起的光致漂白,双激子效应在非线性吸收中起着决定性作用。

Linear and nonlinear optics,dynamics, and lasing in ZnO bulk and nanostructures

In linear optics, we report on measurements of the absolute external quantum efficiency of bulk ZnO and powders using an integrating sphere. At low temperature the near band edge emission efficiency can reach 0.15 in the best samples. For deep center luminescence this value may be even higher. When going to room temperature (RT) the quantum efficiency drops by about one order of magnitude. From time resolved luminescence measurements we deduce the lifetime of the free and bound excitons to be in the sub ns regime and find for the latter a systematic increase with increasing binding energy.Concerning lasing, we discuss the role of excitonic processes and the recombination in an inverted electron–hole plasma (EHP). While excitonic processes seem well justified at lower temperatures and densities, doubts arise concerning the concept of excitonic lasing at RT in ZnO. The densities at laser threshold at RT are frequently close to the Mott density or above but below the density at which population inversion in an EHP is reached. We suggest alternative processes which can explain stimulated emission in this density regime in an EHP at RT.     

Lasing behaviour from the condensation of polaronic excitons in a ZnO nanowire

Atoms under optical and magnetic trapping in a limited space at a very low temperature can lead to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC),even in a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice. However,can the confinment of dense excitons in a 1D semiconductor microstructure easily reach the excitonic BEC A lightly Mn(Ⅱ)-doped ZnO nanowire under a femtosecond laser pulse pump at room temperature produces single-mode lasing from coherent bipolaronic excitons,which is much like a macroscopic quantum state due to the condensation of the bipoaronic excitons if not real BEC. In this process,longitudinal biphonon binding with the exciton plays an important role. We revisit this system and propose possibility of bipolaronic exciton condensation. More studies are needed for this condensation phenomenon in 1D microcavity systems.     

Multiphoton route to ZnO nanowire lasers

With intense femtosecond laser excitation, multiphoton absorption-induced stimulated emission and laser emission in ZnO bulk crystal and nanowires have been demonstrated at room temperature. UV-stimulated emission peaks appeared in both bulk crystal and nanowires when the excitation exceeded certain thresholds, and a sharp lasing peak with a linewidth of ~0.5 nm was observed from ZnO nanowires. The emission properties were attributed to the band-edge emission of the recombination of carriers excited by two- and three-photon absorption processes in the wide-bandgap semiconductor.     

Room-temperature laser emission of ZnO nanowires explained by many-body theory

Are excitons involved in lasing in ZnO nanowires or not? Our recently developed and experimentally tested quantum many-body theory sheds new light on this question. We measured the laser thresholds and Fabry-Pérot laser modes for three radically different excitation schemes. The thresholds, photon energies, and mode spacings can all be explained by our theory, without invoking enhanced light-matter interaction, as is needed in an earlier excitonic model. Our conclusion is that lasing in ZnO nanowires at room temperature is not of excitonic nature, as is often thought, but instead is electron-hole plasma lasing.     

Temperature dependence of excitonic luminescence from nanocrystalline ZnO films

The properties of the excitonic luminescence for nanocrystalline ZnO thin films are investigated by using the dependence of excitonic photoluminescence (PL) spectra on temperature. The ZnO thin films are prepared by thermal oxidation of ZnS films prepared by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that ZnO thin films have a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with a preferred (0 0 2) orientation. A strong ultraviolet (UV) emission peak at 3.26 eV is observed, while the deep-level emission band is barely observable at room temperature. The strength of the exciton-longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon coupling is deduced from the temperature dependence of the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the fundamental excitonic peak, decrease in exciton-longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon coupling strength is due to the quantum confinement effect.     

Optical processes in the formation of stimulated emission from ZnO nanowires

This paper studies power dependent photoluminescence spectra, the stimulated emission occurring at ultraviolet (UV) band instead of the green emission band of ZnO nanowires, which are prepared with a chemical reduction method. The dynamics of the UV emission and green emission is given to demonstrate the reason of stimulated emission occurring at UV band but not the green emission band under high excitation, which indicates that the slow decay rate of trap state makes it easy to be fully filled and saturated, while the fast decay rate of near-band-edge exciton state makes the UV emission dominate the radiative recombination under high excitation. The UV emission, as well as the corresponding stimulated emission, occurs in competition with the green deep-trap emission. In addition, when pump fluence further increases, the multiple lasing modes appear. The dependence of these lasing modes on the pump fluence is first discussed. This diagram should be helpful to understand and design the optical nanodevices of ZnO nanowires.
