We fabricated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) covered with a thickness-controlled ZnO layer (ZnO-SWNTs) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and investigated their UV photoresponse, induced by the photodesorption of oxygen molecules from the ZnO surface. The magnitude of the negative photocurrent and the recovery time were strongly dependent on the thickness and morphology of the ZnO layer, and were highest when the ZnO layer was 3-4 nm thick. The observed recovery curves of the negative photocurrent were fitted with double-exponential-function curves, which indicate the coexistence of two types of adsorption sites for oxygen molecules on the ZnO surface. The light intensity dependence of the negative photocurrent was also measured. (C) 2012 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
