Abstract

The polarized optical reflectance and photoreflectance spectra of an out-plane nonpolar ZnO epilayer grown by laser molecular-beam epitaxy was studied. The electric field component of its excitonic photoluminescence peak was polarized perpendicular to the [0001] axis. The monoenergetic positron beam line was used to determine the parameters in the ZnO epilayers. The negligible impact of growth direction on the defect incorporation suggests a potential use of epitaxial ZnO as polarization-sensitive optoelectronic devices operating in ultraviolet spectral regions.
