AB  - Molybdenum doped ZnO was hydrothermally grown as the arrays of nanorods deposited onto the fused silica glass substrate. The molybdenum doping level varied from 1 to 30 %. The influence of Mo on the electronic and crystalline structure as well as luminescence and defects in the ZnO nanorods is under study of the bundle of experimental techniques complemented with density functional theory calculations. The tendency of Mo to create energy states within the bandgap of ZnO and their influence on the energy levels of native defects as well as excitons were proven by the synergy of experiment and theory. The improvement of the timing characteristics of the exciton- and zinc vacancy-related emission bands upon Mo doping (1–10 %) was observed. This paves the way for the defect engineering strategy in the search of effective and ultrafast scintillator with the improved light yield as well as compared to other materials. The new concept is based on the combination of the exciton and the defect emission. It is expected to have the potential of application in the detection of gamma rays implemented in time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOFPET). The 20 and 30 % Mo doping levels resulted in the zinc molybdates creation strongly outnumbering ZnO nanorods.
