High degree of polarization of the near-band-edge photoluminescence in ZnO nanowires

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We investigated the polarization dependence of the near-band-edge photoluminescence in ZnO strain-free nanowires grown by vapor phase technique. The emission is polarized perpendicular to the nanowire axis with a large polarization ratio (as high as 0.84 at 4.2 K...
