Defect related photoluminescence and EPR study of sintered polycrystalline ZnO

We report on low temperature photoluminescence (PL) and EPR study of bulk polycrystalline ZnO . Variation of peak position of donor bound exciton transition (D1XA) and FXAn=1-1LO with pump intensity show red shift and blue shift respectively due to exciton-exciton scattering. EPR spectra reveals three peaks at g value of 1.985, 1.956 and 1.939 respectively, g=1.956 and g=1.985 is due to shallow donors Zn interstitial and oxygen vacancy respectively An EPR spectrum at 100 K reveals higher degree of asymmetry and hyperfine splitting due to crystal field and inhomogeneous relaxation of paramagnetic centers. Strength of crystal field splitting (CFS) and spin orbit coupling (SOC) in sample is discussed using PL peak position of various excitonic emissions. Whereas, inhomogeneous relaxation of paramagnetic centers is discussed in terms of their activation energy during thermal quenching process.
