Abstract
This work investigates spectra of luminescence and photo-electron spin resonance (EPR) of zinc oxide single crystals, powders and films. We used single crystals of zinc oxide produced by the hydrothermal method and by the method of gas-transport reactions. The samples were subjected to irradiation of electrons (E = 4 MeV, f = 7.5×1018 cm−2 and f = 1.2×1019 cm−2) and protons (E = 7.7 MeV, f = 1015 cm−2). Using both thermoluminescence and EPR electron-hole processes are investigated (T = 4 – 450 K), which cause luminescence and decharging of self and impurity point defects. The mechanism of violet, green, yellow-orange and red (and accompanying it infra-red: λ = 11000 – 12000 Å) luminescence is discussed.
