ZnGa2O4 and Mn-doped ZnGa2O4 were synthesized using the state reaction method to investigate their photoluminescence characteristics depending on Mn concentration. Under 254nm excitation, ZnGa2O4 exhibited a broad-band emission extending from 330 nm to 610 nm peaking at 450nm. On the other hand Mn-doped ZnGa2O4 showed a new strong narrow-band emission peaking at 504 nm and maximum intensity at the doping concentration of 0.006 mole Mn.

Highly c-axis oriented ZnO thin films were grown on Si(100)substrates with Zn buffer layers. Effects of the Zn buffer layer thickness on the structural and optical qualities of ZnO thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis techniques. It was confirmed that the quality of a ZnO thin film deposited by rf magnetron sputtering was substantially improved by using a Zn buffer layer. The highest ZnO film quality was obtained with a Zn buffer layer 110 nm thick. The surface roughness of the ZnO thin film increases as the Zn buffer layer thickness increases.

MgO nanorods were fabricated by the thermal evaporation of $Mg_3N_2$. The influence of ZnO sheathing and hydrogen plasma exposure on the photoluminescence (PL) of the MgO nanorods was studied. PL measurements of the ZnO-sheathed MgO nanorods showed two main emission bands: the near band edge emission band centered at ~380 nm and the deep level emission band centered at ~590 nm both of which are characteristic of ZnO. The near band edge emission from the ZnO-sheathed MgO nanorods was enhanced with increasing the ZnO shell layer thickness. The near band edge emission from the ZnO-sheathed MgO nanorods appeared to be enhanced further by hydrogen plasma irradiation. The underlying mechanisms for the enhancement of the NBE emission from the MgO nanorods by ZnO sheathing and hydrogen plasma exposure are discussed.

The realization and origin of p-type ZnO are main issue for photoelectronic devices based on ZnO material. N-doped and nominally undoped p-type ZnO films were achieved on silicon (100) and homo-buffer layers by RF magnetron sputtering and post in-situ annealing. The undoped film shows high hole mobility of 1201 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and low resistivity of $0.0454\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with hole concentration of $1.145\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$. The photoluminescence(PL) spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_O$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$.

UV 발광소자 재료로서 유망한 ZnO film을 ALE법으로 증착하고 photoluminescence특성을 조사하였다. Zn소스로서 DEZn(Diethylzinc)를, 산소 소스로서 DI water를 사용하였고 $N_2$ gas로서 챔버내에 주입된 소스물질을 purge하였다. ALE 공정온도 범위인 17$0^{\circ}C$와 CVD 반응온도 범위인 40$0^{\circ}C$로 ZnO 박막을 증착하고 이 시편을 산소 분위기에서 600-100$0^{\circ}C$의 온도로 1시간 동안 열처리하였다. 그리고 He-Cd laser를 사용하여 photoluminescence를 측정하였다. 17$0^{\circ}C$와 40$0^{\circ}C$ 에서 증착된 시편 모두 as-grown 상태에서는 거의 발광특성을 나타내지 못하였으나 후열처리를 거치면서 발광특성을 나타내었고 열처리 온도가 높을수록 발광강도가 증가하였다. 40$0^{\circ}C$에서의 증착된 시편의 경우는CVD반응이 발생하여 Zn-Zn결합이 많이 생성되어 열처리 온도가 증가하여도 발광강도가 약하였고 가시광 영역의 발광 또한 크게 증가하였으며 17$0^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 시편의 경우는 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 UV영역의 발광강도만이 크게 증가하였으며 가시광 영역의 발광은 거의 증가하지 않았다.

We investigated photoluminescence characteristics of ZnO nano needle-like rods grown on a c-plane $AL_2O_3$ substrate by the hot wall epitaxy method. The nano-rods were vertically well aligned along the ZnO c-axis. The diameters of the ZnO nano-rods ranged from 20 nm to 30 nm and their lengths were between 600 and 700 nm. In the photoluminescence spectrum at 10 K, the exciton emission bound to the neutral donor dominated while defect related emission was weakly observed. With a further increase of temperature, the free exciton emission appeared and eventually became dominant at room temperature.

We described the growth of undoped ZnO thin films and their optical properties changing with a various growth temperature. The undoped ZnO thin films were grown on $c-Al_2O_3$ substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at room temperature, 200, 400, and $600^{\circ}C$, respectively. Field emission microscopy (FE-SEM) measurements showed that the grain size of undoped ZnO thin films are increasing as a increase of growth temperature. In addition, we were investigated that the structural and optical properties of undoped ZnO thin films by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) studied. Also, we could confirmed that the exciton luminescence was strongly related to charge trap by grain boundary of the samples using micro-PL measurement.

The heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film on sapphire (0001) substrate was prepared by an off-axis Radio Frequency(RF) magnetron sputtering. The crystallinity of ZnO thin film was affected by deposition pressure, RF power, and substrate temperature. High quality heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film was obtained when the kinetic energy of sputtered particles is well harmonized with the surface mobility. In the result of Photoluminescence(PL) of heteroepitaxial ZnO thin film, Ultraviolet(UV) emissions at 3.36 and 3.28 eV were observed at low(17 K) and Room Temperature(RT). respectively. As the ZnO thin film was annealed in O$_2$ambient, the crystallinity was improved while UV emission was drastically decreased.

Vertically aligned zinc oxide(ZnO) nanorods (NRs) with different surface morphology were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on sapphire substrate with different deposition condition. Based on the surface morphology, ZnO nanostructures are divided into three types: nanoneedles, nanonails and nanorods with rounded tip. Variable temperature photoluminescence (PL) have employed to probe the exciton recombination in high density and vertically aligned ZnO Nanorod arrays. Low temperature photoluminescence measurements do not show any significant yellow emission, but the near band edge excitonic emission shows very strong dependence with the surface morphology. The recombination properties are expected to be different due to different surface-to-volume ratio and distribution of potential fluctuations of intrinsic defects.
