The amount of Tb incorporated depends on the morphology which is controlled by the amount of Li in the initial mixture and the growth conditions. X-ray diffraction and Raman experiments show the good crystalline quality of the samples. A small quantity of Tb3+ ions seems to be present in the structures, as both cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence suggest. The intensity of the ZnO and Tb3+ intrashell emission bands is strongly influenced by the amount of Li due to the different positions that it can occupy in the ZnO lattice. This fact leads to variations in the defect structure that change the concentration of native defects and the rare earth surroundings. The elongated structures also show waveguiding behavior and Fabry–Perot optical resonant modes with good quality factor.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1002/pssa.202100805open access538.9luminescenceoptical cavitiesrare earth dopingZnOFísica de materialesFísica del estado sólido2211 Física del Estado Sólido
