Abstract

We studied several photoluminescence (PL) bands in undoped, Li-, Ga-, and N-doped high-quality ZnO bulk crystals and thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). By analyzing PL in a wide range of excitation power densities, sample temperature, and decay time after a laser pulse, we distinguished and analyzed more than 10 broad bands with unique luminescence properties. Among these bands, only the Cu-related green band with a characteristic fine structure and the Li-related orange band were well-studied and reliably identified in the past.
