Abstract

We investigated the low temperature photoluminescence of mixed-phase Copper oxide nanostructures such as nanocrystals and nanowires. Existence of cuprous and cupric phase was verified under XRD for both samples prepared via direct thermal oxidation. Substrate temperature was varied from 11K to 300K during the photoluminescence spectroscopy to define the mechanism of emission. Characteristic peaks for Cu₂O-phase located at 2.14eV and 1.95eV was found for both samples. The identified peaks for both samples are attributed to the defect states of cuprous crystal with activation energies ranging from ~6-10meV based from Arrhenius plot.
