| 摘 要： | The wide-band-gap II–VI compound semiconductor ZnO is regarded as a promising single-photon emission(SPE)host material. In this work, we demonstrate that a(GaZn–VZn)-complex defect can readily be obtained and the density can be controlled in a certain range. In analogy to nitrogen vacancy centers, such a defect in ZnO is expected to be a new single photon source. The optical properties of the(GaZn–VZn)-complex defect are further studied by photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra measurements. The electron transitions between the defect levels emit light at ～ 650 nm with a lifetime of 10–20 nanoseconds, indicating a good coherent length for SPE. Finally, a two-level emitter structure is proposed to explain the carrier dynamics. We believe that the photodynamics study of the(GaZn–VZn)-complex defect in this work is important for ZnO-based quantum emitters.
