Ag nanowires and ZnO quantum dots were fabricated by chemical methods. The surface morphologies, structures and optical properties were investigated. It is found that both Ag nanowires and ZnO quantum dots exhibit single crystal structure with average diameters of 130 nm and 5 nm, respectively. The significantly enhanced UV fluorescence was observed from ZnO quantum dots after mixed with Ag nanowires at a certain ratio. The enhancement emission positions are consistent with the localized surface plasmon resoant modes in Ag nanowires. This study may provide a new way and a reference to design ZnO based nano light-emitting devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
