Abstract
ZnO single crystals implanted with different fluences of thulium ions and subject to different annealing conditions present multiple-Tm related optical centres. After implantation, the Tm ions are incorporated in a highly damaged region, some of them being placed at Zn sites (Szn). Following annealing, the optical activation of Tm ions is accompanied by a progressive lattice recovery. The main intraionic luminescence, observed with above band gap excitation, is dominated by the near infrared emission due to the 3H4 → 3H6 transition and can be observed up to near RT.
