ZnO nanorods and nanodisks were formed on indium-tin-oxide-coated glass substrates by using an electrochemical deposition method. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the ZnO nanorods were transformed into nanodisks with increasing Zn(NO3)2 concentration. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the ZnO nanostructures had wurzite structures. The full widths at half maxima of the near band-edge emission peak of photoluminescence spectra at 300 K for ZnO nanorods were small, indicative of the high quality of the nanorods. These results indicate that the structural and the optical properties of ZnO nanostructures vary by changing Zn(NO3)2 concentration. 相似文献

Vertically aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with different aspect ratios were synthesized by hybrid wet chemical route. Modulation of the field emission properties (FE) with aspect ratio of ZnO nanorods was examined. With the increase in the aspect ratio, the emission current density increases from 0.02 to 8 μA/cm2 at 7.0 V/μm. Turn-on voltage was seen to decrease from 9.6 to 7 V/μm at a current density of 10 μA/cm2 with the increase in aspect ratio in the ZnO films. The interrelation between the FE characteristics (emission thresholds, current density, surface uniformity, etc.) and microstructure of the ZnO nanostructure obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) was discussed. Quality of the ZnO nanorods was also examined by using Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was found that the observed enhancements of FE characteristics could mainly be attributed to the increase in aspect ratio and associated number density of ZnO nanorods. 相似文献

Hydrothermal growth of hexagonal ZnO nanorods on the annealed titanate nanotube films is reported as a function of molar ratio of Zn(NO3)2 and methenamine (1:1-1:4). The molar ratio of 1:4 results in a dense and thinner rod in comparison with other molar ratios. Corn-like structures of the rods are believed to be due to the higher amine concentration. Raman peaks at 437 and 331 cm−1 are assigned to E2 and E2H-E2L modes. Near band gap edge and green photoluminescence emission indicates the structural and oxygen vacancy. O 1s peak is found built-up of sub-peaks at 530.62, 531.8 and 532.84 eV corresponding to O2− on normal wurtzite structure and OH and oxygen vacancies of ZnO, respectively. 相似文献

Enhanced optical and field emission properties of CTAB-assisted hydrothermal grown ZnO nanorods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have developed a simple N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal route for the production of ZnO one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures on zinc foil at reaction temperature of 160 °C. With the increase of CTAB concentration, the one-dimensional structures change from microrod to a mixture of nano- and microrod and finally to nanorods. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the proper phase formation of the grown nanostructures. The room temperature photoluminescence spectra showed that ZnO nanostructures prepared with increased CTAB concentration exhibited enhanced band edge UV emission and also blue shift of the emission peak. All the samples show no defect related green emission. Field emission property of the 1D structures has been investigated in detail. By tuning the CTAB concentration, the field emission property was optimized. The nanorods synthesized with high CTAB showed turn-on and threshold fields of 3.2 and 5 V/μm, respectively, which are comparable to the values for vapour phase synthesized high field emitting ZnO nanostructures. 相似文献

ZnO nanostructures were grown on silicon, porous silicon, ZnO/Si and AlN/Si substrates by low-temperature aqueous synthesis method. The shape of nanostructures greatly depends on the underlying surface. Scattered ZnO nanorods were observed on silicon substrate, whereas aligned ZnO nanowires were obtained by introducing sputtered ZnO film as a seed layer. Furthermore, both the combination of nanorods and the bunch of nanowires were found on porous silicon substrates, whereas platelet-like morphology was observed on AlN/Si substrates. XRD patterns suggest the crystalline nature of aqueous-grown ZnO nanostructures and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images confirm the single-crystalline growth of the ZnO nanorods along [0 0 1] direction. Room-temperature photoluminescence characterization clearly shows a band-edge luminescence along with a visible luminescence in the yellow spectral range. 相似文献

Chemical spray pyrolysis was applied to grow ZnO nanorod arrays from zinc chloride solutions with pH=2 and 5 on glass/ITO substrate at 480 and 550 °C. The obtained structures were characterized by their morphological, electrical and PL properties. According to SEM, deposition of acidic solutions retards coalescence of the growing crystals. The charge carrier density in ZnO nanorods was determined from the C-V characteristics of ZnO/Hg Schottky barrier. Carrier densities ∼1015 cm−3 and slightly above 1016 cm−3 were recorded for ZnO deposited at 550 and 480 °C, respectively. According to PL studies, intense UV-emission is characteristic of ZnO independent of growth temperature, the concentration of oxygen vacancy related defects is lower in ZnO nanorods deposited at 550 °C. Solution pH has no influence on carrier density and PL properties. 相似文献

ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized by chemical-liquid deposition techniques on MgxZn1−xO (x = 0, 0.07 and 0.15) buffer layers. It is found that varying the Mg concentration could control the diameter, vertical alignment, crystallization, and density of the ZnO nanorods. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) data show the ZnO nanorods prefer to grow in the (0 0 2) c-axis direction better with a larger Mg concentration. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO nanorods exhibit that the ultraviolet (UV) emission becomes stronger and the defect emission becomes weaker by increasing the Mg concentration in MgxZn1−xO buffer layers. 相似文献

ZnO nanorods and nanonails have been synthesized on silicon wafers by a three-step catalyst-free thermal evaporation method in oxygen atmosphere. All the samples were hexagonal phase ZnO with highly c-axis preferential orientation. Different morphologies of ZnO nanostructures, i.e. ZnO nanorods and two kinds of nanonails, were observed at various temperature regions. Photoluminescence, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope were employed to elucidate the reason for the formation of such different rod-like structures. The analysis results demonstrated that the caps of nanonails possess a large number of oxygen vacancies, which may play a key role in determining the formation of nanonails and the high intensity of green emission. 相似文献

ZnO hollow spherical structures with different surface-to-volume ratios were prepared using solid Zn microspheres as template
via a simple oxygen-controlled thermal evaporation approach. The results of scanning electron microscopy testify that ZnO
hollow spherical structures with different morphologies can be realized by changing oxygen supply. The corresponding transmission
electron microscopy images further reveal that the prepared spherical structures are hollow, and nanorods epitaxially grow
from the surface of the sphere shell along the [0001] direction. A series of experiments indicates that the formation of hollow
spherical structures involves the oxidization on the surface of Zn microspheres, sublimation of Zn, and growth of ZnO nanorods. 相似文献

Pyramidal ZnO nanorods with hexagonal structure having c-axis preferred orientation are grown over large area silica substrates by a simple aqueous solution growth technique. The as-grown nanorods were studied using XRD, SEM and UV-vis photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy for their structural, morphological and optical properties, respectively. Further, the samples have also been annealed under different atmospheric conditions (air, O2, N2 and Zn) to study the defect formation in nanorods. The PL spectra of the as-grown nanorods show narrow-band excitonic emission at 3.03 eV and a broad-band deep-level emission (DLE) related to the defect centers at 2.24 eV. After some mild air annealing at 200 °C, fine structures with peaks having energy separation of ∼100 meV were observed in the DLE band and the same have been attributed to the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon-assisted transitions. However, the annealing of the samples under mild reducing atmospheres of N2 or zinc at 550 °C resulted in significant modifications in the DLE band wherein high intensity green emission with two closely spaced peaks with maxima at 2.5 and 2.7 eV were observed which have been attributed to the VO and Zni defect centers, respectively. The V-I characteristic of the ZnO:Zn nanorods shows enhancement in n-type conductivity compared to other samples. The studies thus suggest that the green emitting ZnO:Zn nanorods can be used as low voltage field emission display (FED) phosphors with nanometer scale resolution. 相似文献

High quality vertical-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized by a simple vapor transport process on Si (111) substrate at a low temperature of 520 °C. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed the nanorods have a uniform length of about 1 μm with diameters of 40-120 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the nanorods are c-axis orientated. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis demonstrated the individual nanorod is single crystal. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements were adopted to analyze the optical properties of the nanorods both a strong UV emission and a weak deep-level emission were observed. The optical properties of the samples were also tested after annealing in oxygen atmosphere under different temperatures, deep-level related emission was found disappeared at 600 °C. The dependence of the optical properties on the annealing temperatures was also discussed. 相似文献

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals doped with different groups of impurities, e.g., Li, Na, Cu, Pr and Mg synthesized by solid-state reaction method under similar conditions exhibit different morphology. XRD showed monophasic wurtzite structure but change in lattice parameters and Zn-O bond length indicates incorporation of dopant ion in ZnO lattice. The morphology of ZnO nanocrystals exhibited striking dependence on type of dopant ion with the shape changing from nanorods, spherical to petal like particles. Photoluminescence (PL) shows pronounced UV emission and negligible visible emission for Li, Na and Cu doped ZnO nanocrystals with peak positions coinciding with that of undoped ZnO. Whereas signature emission of Pr3+ ion as well as broad visible emission from Mg doped ZnO revealed the role of intra gap metastable states formed by the dopant ion in the emission process. 相似文献

Al and Sb codoped ZnO nanorod ordered array thin films have been deposited on glass substrate with a ZnO seed layer by hydrothermal method at different growth time. The effect of growth time on structure, Raman shift, and photoluminescence (PL) was studied. The thin films at growth time of 5 h consist of nanorods growth vertically oriented with ZnO seed layer, and the nanorods with an average diameter of 27.8 nm and a length of 1.02 μm consist of single crystalline wurtzite ZnO crystal and grow along [0 0 1] direction. Raman scattering analysis demonstrates that the thin films at the growth time of 5 h have great Raman shift of 15 cm−1 to lower wavenumber and have low asymmetrical factor Гa/Гb of 1.17. Room temperature photoluminescence reveals that there is more donor-related PL in films with growth time of 5 h. 相似文献

Bamboo-leaf-shaped ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by oxidation of metal Zn/SiO2 matrix composite thin films deposited on Si(1 1 1) substrates with radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering. The synthesized bamboo-leaf-shaped ZnO are single crystalline in nature with widths ranging from 30 to 60 nm and lengths of up to 5-10 μm, room temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the nanostructures shows a strong and sharp UV emission band at 372 nm and a weak and broad green emission band at about 520 nm which indicates relatively excellent crystallization and optical quality of the ZnO nanostructures synthesized by this novel method. 相似文献

We report the growth mechanism and structural properties of micrometer sized ZnO cages which were synthesized directly from Zn vapor deposition and oxidation. The ZnO microcages exhibit a hexagonal or spherical shape with partly or completely open surfaces and hollow interiors. The growth process of the microcages includes the deposition of Zn polyhedral particles, top face breaking of the Zn particles and Zn sublimation, and subsequent reaction to ZnO. By controlling the various growth stages, we obtained information on the growth mechanism of the ZnO cages, which appears to be different from a mechanism reported previously. The chemical composition and crystalline structure were studied using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectrum indicates a large quantity of oxygen-vacancy related defects within the wall of the ZnO cages. 相似文献

Single-crystalline, pyramidal zinc oxide nanorods have been synthesized in a large quantity on p-Si substrate via catalyst-free thermal chemical vapor deposition at low temperature. SEM investigations showed that the nanorods were vertically aligned on the substrate, with diameters ranging from 60 to 80 nm and lengths about 1.5 μm. A self-catalysis VLS growth mechanism was proposed for the formation of the ZnO nanorods. The field emission properties of the ZnO nanopyramid arrays were investigated. A turn-on field about 3.8 V/μm was obtained at a current density of 10 μA/cm2, and the field emission data was analyzed by applying the Fowler-Nordheim theory. The stability of emission current density under a high voltage was also tested, indicating that the ZnO nanostructures are promising for an application such as field emission sources. 相似文献

Oriented ZnO nanorods were grown on ion-beam-sputtered ZnO seed layers through a hydrothermal approach without any metal catalyst.
The sputtered ZnO seed layers were pre-annealed at different temperatures before the growth of ZnO nanorods. The effects of
pre-annealing of the ZnO seed layers on the growth rate, crystallinity and optical properties of ZnO nanorods thereon were
studied. The obtained ZnO nanorods had a wurtzite structure and grew along the preferential [0001] orientation with a normal
direction to the substrates. Results show that the growth rate and density of the ZnO nanorods strongly depend on the pre-treatment
conditions of the ZnO seed layer. With higher pre-treatment temperature, the crystallinity and surface characteristics of
the ZnO seed layer were improved and thereafter the growth rate of ZnO nanorods thereon increased. Photoluminescence spectroscopy
results show that the UV emission also becomes stronger and sharper with increasing annealing temperature of the ZnO seed
layer. 相似文献

ZnO:Zn films with strong adhesion to the substrate were obtained by evaporating ZnO powders in the mixture of N2 and H2. The ZnO:Zn films produced in the reductive gas showed bright green photoluminescence and n-type conductivity. After the ZnO:Zn films were re-fired in the air, the conductivity and luminescent intensity decrease to less than 1% and about 50% of the initial values, respectively. For the two different types of samples obtained in the reductive gas and in the air, respectively, their point defects showed notable difference as indicated by the measurements of electron spin resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The native defects account for the green-emission while the n-type conductivity is perhaps associated with the hydrogen doping. 相似文献

Novel ZnO tetrapod and multipod nanostructures were successfully synthesized in bulk quantity through thermal evaporation method. The morphologies and structures of the ZnO nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed that the ZnO nanostructures consisted of tetrapods and multipods with tower-like legs. The ZnO nanostructures were of high purity and were well crystallized with wurtzite structure. The preferred growth direction of legs was found to be the [0 0 0 1] direction. Possible growth mechanisms were proposed for the formation of the ZnO nanostructures. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed that the as-synthesized ZnO nanostructures had a strong green emission centered at 495 nm and a weak ultraviolet emission at 383 nm. Raman spectroscopy was also adopted to explore the structural quality of the ZnO nanostructures. 相似文献
