Fabrication and characterization of hydrothermally grown MgZnO nanorod films for Schottky diode applications

A study of hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorod-based metal-semiconductor-metal UV detectors on glass substrates

“…The seed layer solution was stirred with a magnetic bar at a temperature of 80 C for 1 h, whereas the ZnO NR solution was stirred at a temperature of 90 C for 1 h. Further details about the growth of ZnO NRs by the hydrothermal method can be found elsewhere. 10,23,28 After the deposition of the interdigited Pd metal electrodes, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the ZnO NR-based MSM devices were investigated under dark and UV light conditions. A lamp with a wavelength of approximately 365 nm and an incident optical power of approximately 650 mW were used as the UV light source.…”

“…[5][6][7] In particular, the high optical gain of ZnO has attracted attention for use in sensing and optoelectronics applications. 8 ZnO can be grown as different kinds of one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures, such as nanocombs, 9 nanorods (NRs), 10 nanobelts, 11 nanoflowers, sensors because of their low cost, thermal/chemical stabilities, radiation hardness, and high transparency in the visible range. 13 Among these various morphologies, 1-D ZnO NRs have recently attracted significant attention because of their special shape and structure, which results in excellent piezoelectric, magnetic, and optoelectronic properties.…”

“…[4][5][6] In recent times, one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures of ZnO have attracted the considerable attention of researchers because of their unique properties (such as controllable shape and size). [7][8][9][10] A variety of 1-D nanostructures of ZnO, such as nanostructures, 7 nanowires (NWs), 8 nanorods (NRs), 9 nanoparticles, 10 spirals, 11 nanoneedle 12 and nanocombs 13 can be grown by di®erent synthesis techniques. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Among these 1-D nanostructures, NRs and NWs are the most popular and commonly used structures of ZnO for di®erent applications.…”
