Photoluminescence properties of a single ZnO microstructure for potential scintillator applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Photoluminescence properties of ZnO microstructures are investigated for potential scintillator applications. Samples are successfully prepared by the carbothermal reduction method. A single free-standing ZnO microribbon exhibits UV and visible emissions which behave differently along the microstructure. Fast UV emission lifetimes of 40 and 150 ps have been observed for the microstructures compared to 440 ps and 2 ns for a bulk crystal. With waveguided emissions and fast lifetimes, the ZnO microstructures have promising applications as future XFEL scintillators.
