Effect of Aluminum-Doping on the Photoluminescence of ZnO Nanorods

Ferromagnetic behavior due to Al3+ doping into ZnO nanorods

“…As The decreases in the intensities of the visible light PL emission as more Al was doped in were also reported in our earlier paper [23]. As we pointed out in that paper, the differences between our results and those in other papers are due to the fact that we did not post treat our NR's which would have made the pure ZnO NR's more defect free.…”

“…3 and 4. The morphologies are quite different from those seen in our previous work[23]. There the NR's were grown on a seed layer obtained by RF sputtered ZnO on a substrate.…”

“…We have fabricated a new set of pure ZnO and Al-doped ZnO NP's using the hydrothermal method [23]. After obtaining the different NP's, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the lattice sizes and the initial determination of the sites into which the Al ions ZnO NP's.…”
