Abstract

Charge trapping processes induced by the X-ray irradiation in the heavy Mo doped ZnO and MoO3 micropowders synthesized by the hydrothermal growth method were investigated in detail. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) were applied in a correlated manner to discover the role of the Mo doping in the charge trapping processes in ZnO. Thermally unstable oxygen- and molybdenum-related charge trapping centers were studied. Molybdenum and oxygen created electron-hole trapping pairs in some cases were observed. Some part of the hole trapping centers seemed to be directly connected with the creation of Mo5+. The correlation between EPR and TSL data was found.
