Abstract

ZnO quantum well wires QWW have been grown on glass substrates by an inexpensive, simplified and enhanced spray pyrolysis technique, at 460°C and using Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O as main precursor. Consecutively, the as-grown wires have been gradually doped by Europium within hexa-hydrated chlorinated Europium EuCl3·6H2O (ACROS, 99.0% purity) with different europium-doping levels (0, 0.5 and 1.0at%). The effects of Eu-doping on the structural and optical properties of the QWW were investigated. Results reflect that accuracy of control can be achieved on functional performance by adjusting doping extent. Two-dimensional self-consistent calculations of the electronic structure within the Brillouin zone, along with Lattice Compatibility Theory analyses results show excellent agreement with the experimental results.
