ZnO nanobelts grown on Si substrate

Abstract

Using infrared irradiation to heat an industrial brass (Cu–Zn alloy) disk in moderate vacuum, ZnO nanobelts were directly prepared on a Si substrate. The nanobelts had a single-crystal hexagonal structure and grew along the [0001] direction. The nanobelts had two distinct widths along their entire length. Photoluminescence measurement showed that the nanobelts had an intensive near-band ultraviolet emission at 379 nm. Large-area growth and high quality indicate that the prepared ZnO nanobelts have potential application in optoelectronic devices.

Controlled self-assembled nanoaeroplanes, nanocombs, and tetrapod-like networks of zinc oxide

“…During the past few years, much effort has been devoted to controlling the size and shape of inorganic nanostructures, because these parameters represent the key factors that determine their physical properties, particularly optical and electrical properties [6,7]. As a result, many methods have been developed to produce ZnO nanostructures with various morphologies, such as nanowires [8][9][10][11][12], nanobelts [13][14][15], nanobridges [16], nanocantilevers [17] and hierarchical nanostructures [18]. 3 Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed.…”

Synthesis and characterization of high-quality In2O3 nanobelts via catalyst-free growth using a simple physical vapor deposition at low temperature

“…Recently, nanowires and nanobelts of several binary oxide systems, including Ga 2 O 3 , ZnO, MgO, SnO 2 , CdO and In 2 O 3 have been successfully synthesized [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Among them, the In 2 O 3 , which is a wide band gap transparent semiconducting material, has been widely used in the microelectronic applications including window heaters, solar cells, and liquid-crystal displays [17][18][19].…”

Cu-implanted ZnO nanorods array film: An aqueous synthetic approach

“…Different ZnO nanostructure such as nanotube, nanorods, nanowires, nanoneedles, nanobelts, nanowhiskers, nanonails, nanosheets, nanosprings, nanorings and nanoribbons were synthesized by researchers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Among all, one dimensional (1D) ZnO nanostructures such as nanorods, nanowires have been attracted a great deal of attention since last decade due to its unique properties which makes it suitable candidate for nanoscale optoelectronic devices, especially light-emitting devices [10].…”
