摘要
Eu-doped MgxZn1-xO hexagonal nanocrystals with wurtzite-type structure were fabricated on quartz substrates by electron beam evaporation using Mg0.15Zn0.85O: Eu-y (0 <= y <= 0.08) target combined thermal annealing followed with rapid cooling. The influence of Eu on the microstructure and optical properties of MgxZn1-xO hexagonal nanocrystals had been investigated using X-ray diffraction spectra, X-ray photoelectron energy spectra, scanning electron microscopy, absorption spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. It was found that Eu-doped MgxZn1-xO hexagonal nanocrystals annealed at 700 degrees C exhibited (002) preferred orientation, whereas undoped MgxZn1-xO hexagonal nanocrystals annealed at 700 degrees C did not exhibit preferential growth. The Mg concentration of Eu-doped and undoped MgxZn1-xO hexagonal nanocrystals annealed at 700 degrees C were both 0.08. However, an evident phase separation of the Eu-doped MgxZn1-xO hexagonal nanocrystals with Mg0.08Zn0.92O/Mg0.03Zn0.97O/air SQW core-shell structures was observed. The binding energy of exciton in Mg0.03Zn0.97O (66 meV) was larger than that in Mg0.08Zn0.92O (50 meV) that was further evidence of Mg0.08Zn0.92O/Mg0.03Zn0.97O/air SQW core-shell structures formed.
