High quality SnO2 crystals grown with catalyst-assistance and study on their photoluminescent spectroscopy
催化剂对热蒸发法生长SnO2纳米晶体质量的影响及其发光光谱研究

SnO2 nanocrystals were synthesized, and their photoluminescence spectra revealed the following results. Firstly, we found that the main emission peak of the sample grown with catalyst-assistance is the emission peak of band gap (3.68 eV), and the photoluminescence efficiency of the crystal grown with catalyst-assistance is much higher than that without it. These results show that the quality of the crystal grown with catalyst-assistance is much improved. Furthermore, the emissions of twin-born crystal surfaces (101) and (101)T are demonstrated from the results of the deconvolution of photoluminescence spectra.
