In掺杂ZnO薄膜的制备及其白光发射机理

采用溶胶-凝胶法在Si衬底上制备了本征ZnO薄膜和In:(Zn+In)分别为5%,8%,10%的ZnO薄膜,对薄膜的晶相结构和光电性质进行了表征并在CIE-XYZ表色系统中计算了不同样品的色品坐标.结果表明:In掺入后ZnO薄膜的择优生长方向由(002)面变为(101)面且面间距变小,当In掺杂量为5%时,In原子完全替代Zn原子;薄膜的电阻率随In含量的增加出现先抑后扬的趋势;随着In的掺入光谱的紫外发射峰红移,并在670 nm左右出现一个新的峰值;In:(Zn+In)为5%样品具有白光发射特性.从第一 关键词： In掺杂ZnO薄膜 溶胶-凝胶 色品坐标 白光发射     

White-light emission of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel method

In:ZnO nanoparticles are prepared by the sol-gel process. The ratios of In/(Zn+In) are 0%, 5%, 8%, 10%, and 15%, respectively. Crystal phase structures and optoelectronic properties of these samples are characterized and the chromaticity coordinates of different samples are also calculated in CIE-XYZ colour system. The results show that preferred growth direction of ZnO changes from (002) plane to (001) plane and interplanar distance becomes shorter. When the doping amount of In is 5%, Zn atoms are completely replaced by In atoms. The resistivities of the samples first decrease, then increase afterwards with the increase of the amount of In. With the increase of In, the ultraviolet emission is redshifted and new peaks occur at 465 nm, 535 nm, and 630 nm. The sample with 10% indium has white-light emission. The band structures of samples with 0% and 12.5% indium are investigated by the first principle method. The mechanism of white emission is discussed from the viewpoint of additional energy levels.     

第一性原理研究稀土掺杂ZnO结构的光电性质

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法,运用Castep计算分析了Er, Gd两种稀土元素掺杂的ZnO结构, 对本征ZnO和掺杂晶体的能带结构、态密度以及光学性质进行了分析对比. 由掺杂前后的结果分析发现,稀土掺杂的ZnO结构引入了由稀土原子贡献的导电载流子, 增强了体系的电导率, 费米能级上移进入导带. 研究表明由于稀土元素的掺入, ZnO结构在费米能级附近出现了杂质能带, 这是由稀土的4f态电子所形成. 同时, 纯净ZnO与Er-ZnO, Gd-ZnO和(Er, Gd)-ZnO的介电函数虚部有明显的差异. 在光学性质上, 掺杂ZnO在可见光区的吸收系数和反射率都比纯净ZnO高, 能量损失峰出现红移现象. 关键词： ZnO 稀土 掺杂 第一性原理
