    Abstract

    The effects of annealing temperature on excitonic emissions from Na + ion implanted ZnO nanorods are studied and annealing between 600 and 800 °C can effectively repair the implantation as evidenced by the enhanced excitonic emissions. A well-resolved bound exciton line at 3.352 eV with a linewidth of ∼2 meV emerges from 800 °C annealed sample and could be related to the formation of NaZn acceptor. When the annealing temperature is increased, the intensity of the I6-8 line decreases while that of I3 increases, suggesting enhanced ionization of neutral donors at elevated temperature. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
