Abstract

Zinc oxide is a wide bandgap insulator with significant promise for applications in optics, electro-optics and electronics. However, there are challenges in growing high-quality material, and a prominent visible luminescence channel due to defect recombination competes with the ultraviolet band-edge exciton decay. Here we demonstrate the possibility of characterizing a specific defect by means of Purcell enhanced exciton-plasmon dynamics and photoluminescence.
