Synthesis and photoluminescence of Sb-induced ZnO nanowires along with islands attached

Cathodoluminescence Evaluation of Defect Structure in Hydrothermally Grown ZnO:Sb Nanorods

“…electroluminescence (EL), and cathodoluminescence. [13][14][15][16] However, incorporation of impurities in semiconductors frequently produces crystalline defects that generate undesired luminescence or diminish some emissions due to generation of non-radiative centers, sometimes induced by heavy doping. 14 Cathodoluminescence (CL), besides photoluminescence, is a widely used technique for defect characterization in semiconductors due to its high sensibility and spatial resolution to detect significant changes in optical properties induced by impurities/doping, even at low concentrations, like the spectral and spatial distribution of defect related emissions in ZnO nanostructures.…”

Influence of alkaline sources on the structural and morphological properties of hydrothermally derived zinc oxide powders

“…ZnO powders with a spherical shape have also been prepared by S. Xu et al [23]. ZnO nanowires, nanoislands, nanorods, nanosheets, and nanowhiskers have also been successfully prepared by other groups [24][25][26][27]. Although ZnO powders have been synthesized hydrothermally; however, the effects of alkaline sources on the formation of ZnO particles during the hydrothermal process have not yet been investigated in detail.…”
