Time-resolved photoluminescence lifetime measurements of the Γ5 and Γ6 free excitons in ZnO

Time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy at 2 K was used to measure the radiative recombination lifetime of the allowed (Γ5) and forbidden (Γ6) free excitons in ZnO. The measurements were made on a sample containing internal strain, which altered the sample symmetry, and resulted in relaxed selection rules, allowing the Γ6 exciton to be observed. A radiative recombination lifetime of 259 ps was measured for the Γ5 exciton and 245 ps for the Γ6 exciton. The decay of the free excitons was of single-exponential form, and the decay times were obtained using a least-squares fit of the data.
