Abstract

In photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of ZnO, typically one or more peaks in the visible spectral range due to defect emission can be observed in addition to one UV peak due to band edge emission. The origin of the defect emission is controversial and several mechanisms have been proposed. In this work, we fabricated ZnO nanostructures with different methods (evaporation and chemical synthesis). We found that the preparation method influences the peak position of the defect emission. Different hypotheses for the origin of the green emission in our nanostructured samples are discussed.
