Magneto-optical and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies are employed to evaluate electronic structure of a bound exciton (BX) responsible for the 3.364 eV line (labeled as I * 1 ) in bulk ZnO. From timeresolved PL spectroscopy, I * 1 is concluded to originate from the exciton ground state. Based on performed magneto-PL studies, the g-factors of the involved electron and hole are determined as being g e = 1.98 and g h // ( g h ⊥ ) = 1.2 (1.62), respectively. These values are nearly identical to the reported g-factors for the I * line in ZnO (Phys. Rev. B 86, 235205 (2012)), which proves that I * 1 should have a similar origin as I * and should arise from an exciton bound to an isoelectronic center with a hole-attractive potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
