when C-dots added to ZnO the band gap is decreased,how can i explain?
Adding any access atoms to a crystal acts as impurity and that affects to decrease the energy gap
for details you can read the following book
optical process in semiconductors
by J K Pankove
Following
I would guess that some C atoms will dffuse into your ZnO. Then you have three possibilities:
i) neutral C stays interstitial, thereby increasing the local lattice parameter and decreasing the bandgap;
ii) C goes on Zn^2+ site, thereby adding as a donor
iii) C goes on O^2- site, thereby adding as an acceptor
In both doping cases, the bandgap will shrink from Ec - Ev, to either Ed-Ev (ii) or Ec-Ea (iii)
Thank you Thomas for your explanation. How can i draw this shift( decreased) ZnO@C-dots band gap relative to ZnO ?
Good luck.
why energy transfer from C-dots added to ZnO decreased the band gap of ZnO? how can i explain?
