摘要
ZnO thin films on fused quartz substrates were prepared by a glycol-based Pechini method. The structural and optical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical transmittance spectrum, and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. A red emission around 700 mn was found in PL spectrum, and its peak intensity gained a strong enhancement (similar to 140%) while annealing temperature increased from 700 degrees C to 800 degrees C. The red emission was ascribed to the possible high defect density in boundary layers of nanocrystalline grains. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
