Popis: ZnO shows potential as semiconducting scintillator and exploitation of the very fast, sub-nanosecond excitonic emission of ZnO for superfast scintillators was recently discussed in the literature (1). However, efficient collection of emission from bulky scintillation elements is limited. Manipulation of the excitonic emission by shifting the excitonic band to lower energies could be a way to overcome that limitation. We are employing two different techniques to fabricate crystalline undoped and doped ZnO namely the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) of thin films on ZnO substrates (2) and synthesis of microcrystals from low-alkaline solutions using mild hydrothermal conditions(3).
