Abstract

Electrodes were fabricated on a single ZnO nanowire by photolithography process, metal evaporation, and lift-off. The slow photoresponses of the ZnO nanowire under the continuous illumination of 325nm-wavelength light (corresponding to above-bandgap excitation) indicate that the traps related to oxygen vacancy disturb the flow of electron in ZnO nanowire. The photoresponse and PL spectra were measured, and observed that the excitonic band in the PL spectrum was absent in the photoresponse.
