Luminescence properties of AlN nanostructures revealed under UV light irradiation
The luminescence properties of the AlN nanostructures – nanorods and nanotips -revealed under the UV irradiation are similar to those of the AlN ceramics. Presumably they are induced by the recombination processes in the oxygen-related centers. All the studied luminescence processes (photoluminescence, thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence) in the nanostructures occur mainly through the host lattice excitation. That may be explained by the smaller concentration of the defect centers and more perfect structure of the host lattice of the nanostructures compared to the ceramics. The small mutual differences revealed in the spectra and TL curves of the AlN nanotips and nanoro…
Luminescence processes induced by UV radiation in A1N nanotips and nanorods
Abstract The processes of the UV radiation induced photoluminescence, thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence in the AlN nanotips and nanorods are studied in comparison with those in the AlN ceramics. The emission spectra of the UV radiation induced luminescence processes in the AlN nanostructures are similar to those of AlN ceramics, presumably originating from recombination processes with participation of the oxygen-related centres. In the nanostructures the luminescence processes occur mainly through the excitation of the host lattice, probably due to the smaller content of the randomly distributed defects in the lattice. The observed small mutual differences in the lumi…
