[Photoluminescence of one dimension ZnO single crystal columns array excited by different space variation direction].

Highly-oriented single crystal ZnO columns array was prepared by a simple two-step evaporation oxidation method. And the photoluminescence properties of different direction excitation were investigated. Upon different direction excitation, the emission spectra were greatly different. Besides the relative intensity of different emission peak of PL changed; some new emission peaks werealso detected at high excitation power. This showed that the energy absorption, transmission and emission in one dimension ZnO column array were directional. The up-conversion polarized photoluminescence spectra were also found, and the intensities of 400 nm emission peak were affected by the laser polarization orientation. These results showed that the intensity and shape of PL were related with the direction and polarization of the excitation laser. The results also give some important references for subminiature one dimension line array optoelectric device.
