Time-resolved x-ray excited optical luminescence from SnO2 nanoribbons: Direct evidence for the origin of the blue luminescence and the role of surface states

Time-resolved x-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) and x-ray absorption near edge structures have been employed to study the origin of the multicolor luminescence from SnO2 nanoribbons. The authors find that the yellow-green luminescence has a long lifetime while the blue luminescence a short o...

Zusammenfassung:Time-resolved x-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) and x-ray absorption near edge structures have been employed to study the origin of the multicolor luminescence from SnO2 nanoribbons. The authors find that the yellow-green luminescence has a long lifetime while the blue luminescence a short one. The luminescence is attributed to the radiative decay of trapped electrons in oxygen vacancies just below the conduction band and electrons in the conduction band to intrinsic surface states in the band gap.
