Photoinduced oxygen release and persistent photoconductivity in ZnO nanowires

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Photoconductivity is studied in individual ZnO nanowires. Under ultraviolet (UV) illumination, the induced photocurrents are observed to persist both in air and in vacuum. Their dependence on UV intensity in air is explained by means of photoinduced surface deple...
