In this paper, the structural, electrical and optical properties of Al-doped zinc oxide (ZnO: Al) thin films onto quartz substrates prepared by electron beam evaporation technique were studied. All samples are polycrystal with a hexagonal structure andc-axis preferred orientation. The intense UV emissions and weak deep-level green emissions were observed. The films show high transparency, conductivity and high carrier concentration. Van der Pauw measurements show that the films are n-type degenerate semiconductor. The lowest resistivity is 6.7×10?4 Ω⊙cm at room temperature. These films exhibit a carrier density above 1020 cm?3. The conduction mechanism was discussed. The behavior of metallic conduction can be observed in the high temperature range.

We fabricated an inorganic-polymeric photoluminescent thin film based on ZnO nanoparticles, which were grown directly in the poly（vinylpyrrolidone） （PVP） matrix. The microstructure, composition, thermal stability, and the temperature-dependent photoluminescence of the thin film were investigated. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） results indicated that all the ZnO nanoparticles with a polycrys talline hexagonal wurzite structure were well separated from each other and were dispersed in the polymeric matrix homogeneously and randomly. Raman spectrum （Raman） showed a typical resonant multi-phonon process within the hybrid thin film. The shifts of infrared bands for PVP in the hybrid film should be attributed to strong coulombic interaction between ZnO and polymeric matrix. The stability of the hybrid film and the effect of the perturbation of ZnO on the stability were determined by means of the thermogravimetric analysis （TG） and differential thermal analysis （DTA）. The ultraviolet-visible adsorption （UV-vis） showed distinct excitonic features. The photoluminescent spectrum （PL） of the ZnO nanoparticles modified by PVP molecules showed markedly enhanced ultraviolet emission and significantly reduced green emission, which was due to the Perfect surface passivation of ZnO nanoparticles. Temperature dependent photoluminescent spectrum studies suggested that the ultraviolet emission was associated with bound exciton recombination.
