Tuning Optoelectronic Properties Through In‐Plane Arrangement and Point Defects in ZnO Nanorods as Prepared by Room‐Temperature DC‐Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering
Abstract:Electronic and optical properties of ZnO nanorods grown by room temperature dc-unbalanced magnetron sputtering are studied. As a comparison, ZnO thin film is deposited as well. Surface morphology images and X-ray diffraction patterns show that ZnO nanorods are successfully grown with hexagonal wurtzite structure and the diameter varies from 50 to 90 nm. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, the presence of oxygen vacancy (V O ) is observed in ZnO nanorods sample. Furthermore, current-voltage measurement shows … Show more
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.
