摘要: In realizing zinc oxide (ZnO) scintillator applications, we assess the optical damage and investigate recovery of hydrogen-ion (H-ion) deuterium-ion (D-ion) plasma-irradiated bulk ZnO single crystals. Hydrothermal-grown crystals are irradiated with H-ion D-ion beams 1 keV energy ∼ 10 20 m − 2 s flux. After irradiation, exhibit decreased visible transparencies, redshifted ultraviolet (UV) emission peaks, shortened UV lifetimes, suppressed bands. These changes in transmittances photoluminescence emissions attributed to generation defects during irradiation interaction hydrogen other and/or impurities. Although modified by ion properties crystals, except for recover hours after without any sample treatment only at room temperature. Compared H-ion-irradiated sample, D-ion-irradiated crystal ha...
