Ion implantation reduces grain size and increases structural disorder in ZnO thin films, enhancing optical properties.
Fluence-dependent increases were observed in both the optical bandgap and Urbach energy following carbon ion implantation.
Simulations reveal implanted ions penetrate ZnO to about 41 nm, causing near-surface damage, which is partially recovered through post-implantation annealing.
These findings highlight how controlled ion implantation can tune ZnO properties without significant structural degradation.
