Abstract
In this study, ZnO nanowires (ZNWs)-based optoelectric devices are found to exhibit strong persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect. An optical modulation on the PPC effect of the ZNWs with 980 nm infrared (IR) laser has been investigated. It was found that the decay time for the PPC can be significantly shortened by IR irradiation. The modulation mechanism related with the oxygen vacancies and the subband gap excitation is proposed. Based on this mechanism, the modulation behavior of the IR can be well explained. The present optical modulation on the PPC is suggested to have potential applications in enhancing the performance of ZnO-based photodetectors.
