스핀코팅 방법을 이용하여 다양한 농도의 전구체로 ZnO 나노 섬유질 박막(ZnO nano-fibrous thin films)을 성장하였고, 그에 따른 표면 및 광학적 특성 변화를 scanning electron microscopy (SEM)와 photoluminescence (PL)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 전구체 농도가 0.4 mol (M) 이하 일 때는 성장률이 낮아 ZnO 핵생성만이 되었고, 0.6 M 이상일 때 ZnO 박막은 나노섬유질 구조가 되었다. 전구체 농도가 더욱 증가함에 따라 ZnO 나노 섬유질의 굵기가 굵어졌고 ZnO 박막의 두께도 단계적으로 두꺼워졌다. 전구체 농도가 증가함에 따라 ZnO 나노 섬유질 박막의 photoluminescence (PL)의 근밴드가장자리 광방출(near-band-edge emission) 피크 세기와 full-width at half-maximu (FWHM)이 증가하였고, 깊은 준위 광방출(deep-level mission) 피크는 적색편이(red-shift)하였다.
ZnO nano-fibrous thin films with various precursor concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 mol (M) were grown by spin-coating method and effects of the precursor concentration on surface and optical properties of the ZnO nano-ribrous thin films were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). ZnO nuclei were formed at the precursor concentration below 0.4 M and the ZnO nano-fibrous thin films were grown at the precursor concentration above 0.6 M. Further increase in the precursor concentration, the thickness of the ZnO nano-fibrous thin films is gradually increased. The intensity and the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the near-band-edge emission (NBE) is increased as the precursor concentration is increased. The deep-level emission (DLE) is red-shifted as the precursor concentration is increased.
