The luminescence properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals grown from solution are reported. The ZnO nanocrystals were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, cathodo- and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The ZnO nanocrystals have the same regular cone form with the average sizes of 100-500 nm. Apart from the near-band-edge emission around 381 nm and a weak yellow-orange band around 560-580 nm at 300 K, the PL spectra of the as-prepared ZnO nanocrystals under high-power laser excitation also showed a strong defect-induced violet emission peak in the range of 400 nm. The violet band intensity exhibits superlinear excitation power dependence while the UV emission intensity is saturated at high excitation laser power. With temperature raising the violet peak redshifts and its intensity increases displaying unconventional negative thermal quenching behavior, whereas intensity of the UV and yellow-orange bands decreases. The origin of the observed emission bands is discussed. 相似文献

We have fabricated optically active ZnO inverse opals by infiltrating polystyrene (PS) opal templates using an electrodeposition process. Compared with bare ZnO films also prepared by electrodeposition, the three-dimensional (3D) ordered ZnO structure exhibits markedly enhanced photoluminescence. The effect of photonic band gap on PL spectra is also clearly observed from the ZnO inverse opal structure. 相似文献

Photoluminescence of CdTe nanocrystals (NC) is excited resonantly in the lowest energy absorption peak. The spectrum shows a luminescence line shifted to a lower energy and acoustical and optical phonon replica. The Stokes shift between the luminescence and excitation lines is attributed to the electron-hole exchange energy in the nanocrystal. By tuning the laser line inside the absorption peak, we are able to measure the Stokes shift as a function of the excitation energy. Calculation of the absorption gap and the Stokes shift is done in a tight-binding theory. It allows us to determine the radius R of NC excited at a given wavelength and to compare the experimental and theoretical values of the exchange energy as a function of R. A very good agreement is obtained. The observed size dependence of the acoustical phonon mode energy provides a further confirmation of our analysis. 相似文献

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using chemical method in alcohol base. During synthesis three capping agents, i.e. triethanolamine (TEA), oleic acid and thioglycerol, were used and the effect of concentrations was analyzed for their effectiveness in limiting the particle growth. Thermal stability of ZnO nanoparticles prepared using TEA, oleic acid and thioglycerol capping agents, was studied using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). ZnO nanoparticles capped with TEA showed maximum weight loss. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for structural and morphological characterization of ZnO nanoparticles. Particle size was evaluated using effective mass approximation method from UV-vis spectroscopy and Scherrer's formula from XRD patterns. XRD analysis revealed single crystal ZnO nanoparticles of size 12-20 nm in case of TEA capping. TEA, oleic acid and thioglycerol capped synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were investigated at room temperature photoluminescence for three excitation wavelengths i.e. 304, 322 and 325 nm, showing strong peaks at about 471 nm when excited at 322 and 325 nm whereas strong peak was observed at 411 for 304 nm excitation. 相似文献

Colloidal cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were formed by using a colloid-thermal synthesis process. X-ray diffraction patterns, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, high-resolution TEM images, and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry profiles showed that the colloidal CuO nanoparticles were formed. The optical band-gap energy of CuO nanoparticles at 300 K, as determined from the absorbance spectrum, was 3.63 eV. A photoluminescence spectrum at 300 K showed that a dominant emission peak appeared at the blue region. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy profiles showed that the O 1s and the Cu 2p peaks corresponding to the CuO nanoparticles were observed. 相似文献

The effects of Si substrate orientation and surface treatment on the morphology and density of Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were investigated. The size and density of ZnO nanorods were influenced by Si substrate orientation and surface preparation. ZnO nanorods synthesized on the ideally H-terminated Si(1 1 1) prepared with an NH4F solution resulted in the biggest size and the lowest density. It is suggested that the smoother surface of the Si substrate and lattice shape match with a larger atomic distance result in the increase of the ZnO seedlayer's grain size, which in turn enhances the size of ZnO nanorods grown on it. The optical properties of the ZnO nanorods were affected by their size and crystallinity. The smallest ZnO nanorods with a preferential c-axis orientation synthesized on the HF-treated Si(1 1 1) surface showed the highest intensity ratio of UV to visible emission, and the biggest ZnO nanorods synthesized on the N2-sparged NH4F-treated Si(1 1 1) surface showed the lowest intensity ratio of UV to visible emission. Therefore, it can be concluded that Si substrate orientation and surface preparation significantly affect the optical properties of ZnO nanorods. 相似文献

The influence of surface effects on the temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra from individual ZnO nanowires has been studied. It is found that the surface effects of the nanowire are very important in both ultraviolet (UV) and visible emission. We propose a new luminescence mechanism based on the recombination related to oxygen vacancies to explain the temperature dependent visible emission, which is significantly influenced by the carrier depletion and band bending caused by surface effects. In addition, the observed attenuation of UV emission with increasing temperature is ascribed to the decreasing depletion region and the increasing surface states related nonradiative recombination. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline ZnO powders can act as gain and scattering medium in a random laser where the light emission can be strongly amplified. In this work, we compare the luminescence properties of samples with different particle sizes in the regime of linear and nonlinear optics. In the high-excitation regime random lasing is observed in all samples. Here, the lasing threshold depends strongly on the size distribution in the ensemble. Additional characterization of the samples has been done by determining the absolute quantum efficiency of the radiative processes in the powder. The values are in the 10% range and the near-edge luminescence is strongly influenced by the particle sizes. We show that by annealing the nanocrystals coalesce to larger polycrystalline grains, which results in a new emission band at 3.333 eV due to the grain boundaries. Furthermore, it is found that in the annealed samples the threshold for random lasing could be considerably decreased. 相似文献

We synthesize Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce3+) nanoparticles in the presence of citric acid by glycothermal method. Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy measurement indicates that the intensity of the peak corresponding to carboxyl groups coordinating to the nanoparticles increases with increasing amount of citric acid. At the same time, the primary particle diameter decreases from 10.2 to 4.0 nm. In addition, the internal quantum efficiency of the photoluminescence (PL) due to the 4f-5d transition of Ce3+ increases from 22.0% to 40.1% with increasing amount of citric acid. Two kinds of PL decay lifetimes, 16-26 and 72-112 ns, are detected for YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticles, whereas the micron sized YAG:Ce3+ bulk shows the lifetime of 57 ns. We discuss these phenomena from the aspects of the coordination of citric acid and the incorporation of Ce3+ ions into the nanoparticles. 相似文献

We report a novel method of growing red luminescent (635 nm) Mn-doped CdS (CdS:Mn) nanoparticles capped by an inorganic shell of Mn(OH)2. CdSO4, Na2S2O3 and Mn(NO3)2 were used as the precursors, and thioglycerol (C3H8O2S) was employed as the capping agent and also the catalyst of the reaction. Using these materials resulted in very slow rate of the reaction and particles growth. The self-assembled one-pot process was performed at pH of 8 and Mn:Cd ratio of 10, and took about 10 days for completion. CdS:Mn nanoparticles are slowly formed in the first day of the process; however, the luminescence is weak. After 7 days, the solution turns white turbid through the formation of additional particles, which precipitate on the walls on the next day. At this stage, a relatively strong red luminescence at 635 nm appears from transparent solution of the CdS:Mn nanoparticles. The white deposit on the walls turns to dark-brown color and luminescence increases on the 9th day. Finally, the CdS:Mn nanoparticles agglomerate and precipitate out of the solution on 10th day. X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopy showed crystalline phase CdS nanoparticles with an average size of 3.6 nm. We explain the luminescence enhancement based on the formation of a Mn(OH)2 shell on the surface of the CdS:Mn nanoparticles during the precipitation stage. This can passivate the S dangling bonds located on the particles surface. As the surface Cd sites are previously capped with thioglycerol molecules, a complete surface passivation is achieved and results in emergence of high-intensity luminescence. 相似文献

Photoluminescence (PL) properties of differently doped nanocrystalline ZnS encapsulated by ZnO (ZnS/ZnO) are reported. It is found that in all cases aluminium as an extra/additional dopant leads to PL enhancement. In comparison to reported blue emitting bulk ZnS:Ag, or green emitting bulk ZnS:Cu, our nanocrystalline samples show a different PL emission profile. This observation is attributed to nanogranule formation, different dopant levels and ZnO capping related energy level modifications. 相似文献

We have investigated temporal behavior of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of thin films containing CdSe/ZnS quantum dots irradiated by 532 nm laser radiation and gamma-rays. Under ∼100 W/cm2 laser radiation, the PL intensity (IPL) increases with irradiation time upto about 500 s and thereafter declines linearly. The wavelength of the PL emission (λpeak) exhibits a blue-shift with exposure time. Upon simultaneous irradiation by 100 W/cm2 532-nm laser, as well as 0.57 and 1.06 MeV gamma-rays, the temporal behaviors of both IPL and λpeak are significantly different; IPL increases to a saturation level, and the magnitude of the blue-shift in λpeak is reduced. We discuss possible mechanisms underlying these results. 相似文献

We report on ZnO nanosheets and nanorods synthesized by thermal oxidation of zinc films deposited on carbon fiber surfaces. The structure and optical properties are characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectrum. An orange-red emission around 683 nm is found in the PL spectrum when the sample prepaxs at 400℃ for four hours in air. With annealing temperature increasing from 400℃ to 500℃, the blue shift is observed. 相似文献

We report on low‐temperature photoluminescence studies of ZnO nanowires coated with thin metallic films. For all analyzed metals (Al, In, Au, Ni, Cu), we find an increased relative intensity of the green deep‐level emission. This is accompanied by a significant reduction of the relative intensity of the surface exciton band. The observed effects are most likely related to the formation of metal induced gap states in the surface region of the ZnO nanowires. A model for the band structure in the surface region of the metal‐coated nanowires is proposed that successfully explains the changes in the photoluminescence spectra after the coating process.

The properties of ZnO quantum dots (QDs) synthesized by the sol-gel process are reported. The primary focus is on investigating the origin of the visible emission from ZnO QDs by the annealing process. The X-ray diffraction results show that ZnO QDs have hexagonal wurtzite structure and the QD diameter estimated from Debye-Scherrer formula is 8.9 nm, which has a good agreement with the results from transmission electron microscopy images and the theoretical calculation based on the Potential Morphing Method. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectra reveal that the ultraviolet excitation band has a red shift. Meanwhile, the main band of the visible emission shifts to the green luminescence band from the yellow luminescence one with the increase of the annealing temperature. A lot of oxygen atoms enter into Zn vacancies and form oxygen antisites with increasing temperature. That is probably the reason for the change of the visible emission band. 相似文献

When semiconductor colloidal CdS nanoparticles and nonylphenol are mixed together in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature, a self-assembling process is induced. In the course, the size tunable properties of CdS nanoparticles are amplified. A blue shift in the emission spectrum and a strong photoluminescence enhancement are observed without significant change in the absorption features of the colloidal nanoparticles. These results are attributed to the adsorption of nonylphenol onto the nanoparticles surface and to the association process of the surfactant molecules. The surfactant adsorption process provides a nanoparticle surface passivation and induces an associative phase that enlarges the photoluminescence stability. This strategy opens the possibility to improve simultaneously physicochemical and photoluminescence properties of nanocrystals in solution as well as to control their deposition on two-dimensional surfaces. 相似文献

It is shown that ZnO nanorods grown by MOCVD exhibit enhanced radiation hardness against high energy heavy ion irradiation as compared to bulk layers. The decrease of the luminescence intensity induced by 130 MeV Xe+23 irradiation at a dose of 1.5 × 1014 cm–2 in ZnO nanorods is nearly identical to that induced by a dose of 6 × 1012 cm–2 in bulk layers. The change in the nature of electronic transitions responsible for luminescence occurs at an irradiation dose around 1 × 1014 cm–2 and 5 × 1012 cm–2 in nanorods and bulk layers, respectively. High energy heavy ion irradiation followed by thermal annealing is also effective on the quality of ZnO nanorods grown by electrodeposition. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

ZnO nanocrystals capped with an organic dye Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) techniques. PL and CL spectra showed a remarkable decrease in visible emission intensity after ZnO nanocrystals were capped with Rh6G, indicating that dangling bonds and defect states existing at the surface of ZnO nanocrystals were significantly passivated. Rh6G on the ZnO surface exhibited a monomer-like emission, and the intensity and the position of the emission were dependent on the dye concentration. 相似文献

YVO4:Bi3+,Eu3+ nanophosphors at a high Bi3+ concentration of 15 at% are synthesized from a Bi3+ source, nitrates of yttrium and europium(III), and sodium orthovanadate(V) by a low-temperature aqueous precipitation in the presence of citrate ions. When an ethylene glycol solution of bismuth(III) nitrate is used as a Bi3+ source, YVO4:Bi3+,Eu3+ nanophosphors of ∼20 nm in size crystallize during aging at 85 °C without any by-products where the contents of Bi3+ and Eu3+ incorporated into crystalline YVO4 are close to the respective nominal contents, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and X-ray fluorescent analysis. These nanophosphors show red emission corresponding to the f-f transition of Eu3+ under the excitation of Bi3+-V5+ charge transfer. When aging is continued after the completion of the crystallization, the photoluminescence intensity of nanophosphors reaches the constant value. This is the improved behavior in comparison to our previous work, where the photoluminescence intensity decreases after the prolonged aging because of the inhomogeneous doping of Bi3+ ions, and hence the concentration quenching. 相似文献

We report spectroscopic ellipsometry studies in the energy range of 0.5-5 eV on samples of 1-10 bilayers of polymer and HgTe nanocrystals, which exhibit strong transitions at higher critical points in the dispersion relation. We show that the dispersion relation for nanocrystals can be modelled with the same concepts for critical points as used in semiconductor bulk optics. We find an energy shift of up to 0.4 eV of the critical points to higher energies compared to the HgTe bulk properties, caused by quantum confinement in the nanocrystals, which increases with decreasing nanocrystal size. 相似文献
