Synthesis and photoluminescence studies on ZnO nanowires
نویسندگان
چکیده
ZnO nanowires were grown in gram quantities on graphite flakes (as collector) using the vapour transport and condensation approach. The yield, defined as the weight ratio of ZnO nanowires to the original graphite flakes, has been studied thoroughly by tuning the various growth parameters such as pressure and temperature inside the tube furnace, the amount of graphite powder in the original source, the source to collector ratio, etc. A yield as high as 200% has been achieved, equivalent to a 40% conversion of the ZnO powder in the original source. A study comparing the photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanowires grown on both graphite flakes and substrates with commercially available ZnO powder has been carried out.

Synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanowires by thermal oxidation of Zn thin films at various temperatures.
In this research high-quality zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have been synthesized by thermal oxidation of metallic Zn thin films. Metallic Zn films with thicknesses of 250 nm have been deposited on a glass substrate by the PVD technique. The deposited zinc thin films were oxidized in air at various temperatures ranging between 450 °C to 650 °C. Surface morphology, structural and optical properties...
متن کاملGrowth of Zinc Oxide Nanowires on Silicon (100)
Single crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have been grown on Si (100) substrates by a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process at temperatures in the range 850-950 °C in an inert atmosphere. The VLS-grown ZnO nanowires have been characterized in detail using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron mi...

ZnO nanowires with a diameter of 70 nm and nanorods with a diameter in the range of 100-150 nm and two micrometer in length were grown on glass substrates by resistive evaporation method and applying a two step oxidation process at low temperatures, without using any catalyst, template or buffer layer. XRD pattern of these nanostructures indicated a good crystallinity property with wurtzite hex...
متن کاملSynthesis, optical and electrochemical properties of ZnO nanowires/graphene oxide heterostructures
Large-scale vertically aligned ZnO nanowires with high crystal qualities were fabricated on thin graphene oxide films via a low temperature hydrothermal method. Room temperature photoluminescence results show that the ultraviolet emission of nanowires grown on graphene oxide films was greatly enhanced and the defect-related visible emission was suppressed, which can be attributed to the improve...
