Lithium located at the Zn site in the ZnO matrix could be a valid acceptor for p-conduction. Our magneto-PL and -PT investigation of a Lithium doped ZnO film on a ZnO substrate found I6 to I8, as well as I0 and I1 bound exciton complexes, with the smallest FWHM of 80 µ m. Zeeman-splitting of peaks up to 580 µ eV at 5 T, produced electron g-values in good agreement with previous publications. An additional splitting of peaks in magnetic fields stronger than 3 T, was also clearly apparent. A non-zero an-isotropic hole effective g-value for B⊥ c is discussed as the possible origin of the observed splitting. The neutral or ionised nature of the I0 and I1 bound exciton complexes in the magnetic field was also further clarified and the appearance of a new peak on the lower energy side of the I1 peak, indicating zero-field-splitting, was also investigated. In addition to this, the forbidden exciton could be observed. Temperature dependent measurements were employed to investigate the donor or acceptor character of the bound exciton complexes and angular and polarisation dependent measurements clarify whether the involved holes originate from a valence band with Γ7 or Γ9 symmetry.
