Abstract

Cu2O microcrystallites of the size range 55-73 A were embedded in the nano-zirconia thin film matrix if precursor contains zirconium oxychloride octahydrate and cupric nitrate trihydrate. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of the films annealed at different temperature, 200 degrees -1200 degreesC revealed that the microcrystallites are possessing both mono- and biexcitonic behaviours which are dependent on microcrystallite size. Maximum biexcitonic behaviour has been predicted in the case of 450 degreesC annealed sample (size 69 Angstrom, cal.) which also showed phosphorescence possibly due to inter-crossing of potential energy curve Gamma (+)(1) of Cu2O exciton and D-3 of free Cu+. The anisotropic nature of the excitonic transitions of Cu2O was also observed due to electrical quadrupole transition which was authenticated by its emission and ESR spectral,studies.
