Electronic and Mechanical Coupling in Bent ZnO Nanowires

A red shift of the exciton of ZnO nanowires is efficiently produced by bending strain, as demonstrated by a low‐temperature (81 K) cathodoluminescence (CL) study of ZnO nanowires bent into L‐ or S‐shapes. The figure shows a nanowire (Fig. a) with the positions of CL measurements marked. The correspo...

Summary:A red shift of the exciton of ZnO nanowires is efficiently produced by bending strain, as demonstrated by a low‐temperature (81 K) cathodoluminescence (CL) study of ZnO nanowires bent into L‐ or S‐shapes. The figure shows a nanowire (Fig. a) with the positions of CL measurements marked. The corresponding CL spectra—revealing a peak shift and broadening in the region of the bend—are shown in Figure b.
