Investigation on the origin of green light emission in ZnO bulk materials

• ZnO bulk materials were implanted by O and Zn with different concentration and their photoluminescence (PL) properties were investigated in detail. The results clearly show that O and Zn implantation indeed have great influence on the green light emission. By comparing the PL spectra for the samples with different implantations, O-i, Zn-i and Cu-related defects have been excluded from the possibility of the origin of green light emission step by step. Finally, it can be concluded that V-Zn is responsible to the observed green light emission, which has good agreement with the theoretical results from first principle calculation.
