Abstract
The luminescent and lasing properties of ZnO microtubes synthesized by a modified thermal evaporation method have been studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy. It is shown that whispering gallery modes are responsible for lasing in the near-UV range. The possibility of achieving low lasing thresholds (down to ~8 kW/cm2) and high optical quality factors (above 3900) is demonstrated. A mechanism for forming such microcrystals is proposed, which is based on the assumption of simultaneous growth and etching along the [0001] crystallographic direction.
期刊介绍:
Crystallography Reports is a journal that publishes original articles short communications, and reviews on various aspects of crystallography: diffraction and scattering of X-rays, electrons, and neutrons, determination of crystal structure of inorganic and organic substances, including proteins and other biological substances; UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy; growth, imperfect structure and physical properties of crystals; thin films, liquid crystals, nanomaterials, partially disordered systems, and the methods of studies.
