Abstract:
A nanotubular layer of zirconium dioxide was synthesized with anodic oxidation. Curves of spectrally resolved thermostimulated luminescence were studied in the 390–550 nm range after 300 nm UV irradiation. Energetic and kinetic parameters of thermostimulated luminescence curves were estimated. The mechanism of thermally-activated processes involving intrinsic lattice defects is proposed.
Keywords:spectrally resolved thermostimulated luminescence, zirconium dioxide, nanotubes, electron and hole traps.
