Abstract

ZnO has become the focus of photonics and optoelectronic research. We prepared pure Mn(II) doped ZnO nanowires with a controlled reduction reaction by carbon in an asymmetrical tube. Careful time-resolved photoluminescence experimental study indicates three types of lasing mechanisms: exciton-exciton interaction, bipolaronic exciton condensation, and plasma; these exist in different ZnO nanowires, which can be changed by doping Mn in ZnO nanowire. The transformation between varied mechanisms is discussed in detail with their spectral behaviors. These results are important in the design of future violet-blue luminescence and display devices.
