Novel pulsed electron deposition route to ZnO nanowire arrays

Thermal stability of electrical properties of ZnO:Al films deposited by room temperature magnetron sputtering

“…Because of its tremendous application potentials, various forms of ZnO such as powder [5,6], flake [7,8], film [9,10], nanorod [11], nanowire [12] and so on, have been extensively investigated. For ZnO films doped with aluminum, excellent properties such as great reflectance in infrared region, sound absorbance of UV light, more than 85% of transmittance in visible light region and specific resistivity of 1-5 × 10 −4 cm have been obtained up to now [13].…”

Growth and photoluminescence of zinc blende ZnS nanowires via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

“…70% in the whole nanowires. HRTEM image recorded along [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] axis zone (Fig. 3b) shows that the interplanar spacing is 0.32 nm, which corresponds to the (1 1 1) planes of zinc blende ZnS, further confirming zinc-blende structure of the nanowire.…”

“…As is well known, one dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanowires have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in the nanooptics, nanoelectronics and nanomagnetics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. As an important semiconductor material with wide band gap of 3.72 eV for the zinc blende phase and 3.77 eV for wurtzite phase at room temperature, zinc sulfide (ZnS) has attracted considerable research interest [16][17][18][19].…”
