Abstract

Zinc oxide, ZnO, is a direct wide bandgap semiconductor, with a large exciton binding energy (60 meV). Many of its properties promise great potential for many optoelectronic device applications. In order to explore the nanoscale device applications and gain more understanding of the ZnO material, our research has focused on the optical characterization of several ZnO samples including both films and nanorods (nanotips) grown on different substrates. We will present experimental results of photoluminescence (PL) as a function of temperature and Raman scattering data at room temperature (RT). The spontaneous polarization in ZnO and GaN will be modeled and compared for these two similar wurtzite wide band gap materials. Finally, we will present the calculations of the electron and hole transmission mini bands in a three dimensional matrix of colloidal ZnO quantum dots and conductive polymers also a promising material in optoelectronic device applications.
