Abstract
Bulk ZnO crystals were grown by self-selecting CVT method using carbon as the transport agent. The crystal growth process took place on the top of the polycrystalline source material, and deep-red colored ZnO crystals of several millimeters were obtained. The as-grown crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), Raman scattering (RS) spectroscopy, visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) spectrophotometer and room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. XRD results indicate good crystallinity of the ZnO crystal. The EDS analysis shows that the crystal has a stoichiometry ratio Zn: O = 52: 48. The results suggest the existence of native defects of oxygen vacancies (OV) in the as-grown ZnO samples, which is caused by the stoichiometry shift to Zn-rich.
