Enhancement of UV luminescence from single crystals of zinc oxide

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Crystals of the red oxide of zinc are normally heat treated in various media to produce enhanced UV luminescence. Studies have been carried out on the reflection, photoluminescence, and cathodoluminescence spectra of these crystals in order to understand the changes in the intensity of the luminescence. It has been established that with heat treatment of single crystals of zinc oxide in a vacuum or water vapor, or with diffusion of an impurity which replaces the zinc in the crystal and has atoms larger than the Zn atoms, there is an enhancement of the intensity of UV luminescence by more than two orders of magnitude.
