Persistent Photoconductivity in ZnO Nanowires in Different Atmospheres

Figure 4

Photocurrent decay of a single ZnO nanowire device after removing the UV excitation, in vacuum and inert gas atmospheres; (b) shows a magnification of (a), when air is introduced into the chamber. The decay rate increases considerably.
