Cathodoluminescence study of defects created by Vickers indentation in hydrothermal ZnO crystals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
Vickers indentations of ZnO crystals grown by the hydrothermal method were studied by cathodoluminescence. The defects induced by indentation influenced the luminescence spectrum, indicating the generation of non radiative recombination centers and a band close to the first phonon replica of the free exciton, in the surrounding area near the indentation. The possible nature of the defects responsible for such band is discussed. A comparison with polishing induced damage is also presented.
