[16a-A25-3] Photoluminescence properties of micrometer-sized ZnO crystals under high-density optical excitation
Keywords:Zinc oxide, photoluminescence
We investigate the photoluminescence properties of micrometer-sized ZnO particles in the temperature range from 3 to 300 K. We found that the exciton-exciton inelastic scattering is dominant in the temperature region below 100 K. As the temperature is increased above 150 K, the exciton-electron scattering begins to take place. This exciton-electron scattering is responsible for the stimulated emission at room temperature.
