Exciton localization and stimulated emission of ZnO nanorods

摘要

High yield ZnO nanorods are synthesized by a simple wet chemical method. The crystal morphology and structure of the ZnO nanorods are examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), respectively. The properties of the excitonic luminescence are investigated by using temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Barely observed visible emission band indicates the good optical quality of the ZnO nanorods and the abnormal position and intensity changes of the emission peaks indicates the localization property of exciton.
