摘要
Time-resolved luminescence measurements are performed on high-quality ZnO nanocrystals in a quantum confinement regime prepared by fast cooling and succeeding surface passivation. A very long luminescence lifetime of similar to 0.1 mu s, which is indicative of the existence of a dark exciton state, is observed. The temperature dependence of the lifetime and the luminescence peak energy is successfully accounted for by a thermal equilibrium model of excitonic dark and bright states.
