研究目的
To investigate the effect of prolonged UV illumination on the optoelectronic characteristics of ZnO honeycomb nanostructures, focusing on the formation of photo-induced defects and their impact on device performance.
研究成果
Prolonged UV illumination induces the formation of zinc interstitials and oxygen vacancies in ZnO honeycomb nanostructures, enhancing deep level emission and optoelectronic properties. The photodetector demonstrated high photo-responsivity (1150 A/W) and sensitivity (10^6) in the deep UV region, but excessive UV exposure degrades performance. This method offers a controlled way to tune intrinsic defects for improved device applications, with recommendations for optimizing UV exposure duration in future studies.
研究不足
Prolonged UV illumination beyond 210 seconds leads to degradation in device performance due to excessive defect formation, indicating a limitation in the controllability and stability of the method. The technique may not be scalable for large-scale applications and requires precise control of UV exposure time to avoid permanent damage.
