  • 우리는 ZnO Template를 사용한 열기상법을 이용하여 수직 배양한 ZnO nanorods와 ZnO Nanopencils를 성장하였고, Dependency temperature Photoluminescence(PL)의 분석을 통하여 광학적 특성에 대해 분석을 하였다. ZnO 나노구조는 100K 이하의 온도에서 donor-bound exciton가 dominant하고, 100K 이상의 온도에서는 free exciton과 그들의 phonon-replica emission이 dominant한 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, ZnO nanorods와 nanopencils은 다른 exciton-phonon coupling의 strength에 의한 surface defects에 의해 excitonic emissions의 다른 거동을 보이는 것을 알았다. 이것으로 인해 상온 PL에서 ZnO nanopencil은 nanorods에 비해 52meV의 red shift를 보였다.

  • In this paper, temperature dependence of the excitonic bands in a mechanically exfoliated tungsten diselenide ($WSe_2$) monolayer is studied using photoluminescence and circular dichroic photoluminescence (PL) in the temperature range between 8 and 300 K. The peak energies associated with the neutral exciton (A), charged exciton (trion) and localized excitons are extracted from the PL spectra revealing a trion binding energy of around 30 meV. The circular dichroic PL measured at 8 K shows about 45% valley polarisation that sharply reduces with increasing temperature to 5% at 300 K with photoexcitation energy of 1.96 eV. A detailed analysis of the emission line-width suggests that the rapid decrease of valley polarisation with the increase of temperature is caused by the strong exciton-phonon interactions which efficiently scatter the excitons into different excitonic states that are easily accessible due to the supply of excess photoexcitation energy. The emission line-width broadening with the increase of temperature indicate residual exciton dephasing lifetime < 100 fs, that correlates with the observed rapid valley depolarisation.

  • For more than five decades, silicon has dominated the semiconductor industry that supports memory devices, ICs, photovoltaic devices, etc. Photoluminescence (PL) is an attractive silicon characterization technique because it is contactless and provides information on bulk impurities, defects, surface states, optical properties, and doping concentration. It can provide high resolution spectra, generally with the sample at low temperature and room-temperature spectra. The photoluminescence properties of silicon at low temperature are reviewed and discussed in this study. In this paper, silicon bulk PL spectra are shown in multiple peak positions at low temperature. They correspond with various impurities such as In, Al, and Be, phonon interactions, for example, acoustical phonons and optical phonons, different exciton binding energies for boron and phosphorus, dislocation related PL emission peak lines, and oxygen related thermal donor PL emissions.
