Abstract
Films of undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) and of ZnO/C nanocomposite were formed by the sol-gel method on glass substrates and on fiberglass using zinc acetate as a precursor and with the addition of zinc chloride respectively. Analysis of the photoluminescence spectra of ZnO/C films at high (N2-laser) and low (HeCd-laser) excitation levels made it possible to establish the defining role of bound excitons in this process at 20–60 K, due to the presence of chlorine residues in the films. With the temperature raised to 300 K the role of recombination through the 1LO- and 2LO-phonon replicas of free exciton levels and impurity-defect levels begins to dominate in the photoluminescence of the ZnO/C films.
