Effect of quantum confinement, surface states and exitonic energy levels on photoluminescence of zinc oxide nanostructures

Nanostructuring of semiconductors is a novel means of developing new electronic and optoelectronic devices. The discovery of room-temperature visible photoluminescence (PL) from ZnO nanostructures has stimulated much interest in these particular kinds of nanoclusters and in small semiconductor parti...
