摘要
We studied the photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of ZnO thin films grown by sot-gel spin-coating technique. The ZnO thin films are preferentially oriented along the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. The radiative recombination of donor-bound excitons dominates the low-temperature PL spectra. Defect-related transitions enhance as thickness decreases. The lineshape of room-temperature PL spectra from sot-gel deposited ZnO thin film is greatly influenced by exciton-phonon interaction, which is governed by defects in the thin films.
