Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were synthesized by a simple microemulsion method. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra at room temperature were measured. The Strong UV excitonic emission indicates the good optical properties, and the weak deep-level emission reveals very limited structural defects in the crystals. The multiple peaks in the PL spectrum obtained at 15 K are assigned to the donor-bound exciton (DBE), free to bound transition (FB) and FB-LO phonon replicas. The temperature dependence of energy, intensity, and linewidth of each emission band confirms the effect of thermal ionization progress of excitons and nonradiative recombination activated thermally. The nonresonant Raman scattering spectra at room temperature were excited by He-Ne laser (wavelength similar to 632.8 nm). The perfect wurtzite structure in ZnO nanorods has been verified by the intense E-2 modes, which include low and high frequency vibrations. The possible reasons for the red shift and broadening of vibration modes were studied by the resonant Raman scattering spectra at room temperature. The power-dependence of Raman shift and FWHM shows the laser irradiation effect on the vibrational modes. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
