چکیده
Physical and electrical properties of wurtzitic ZnO straight nanowires grown via a vapor-solid mechanism were investigated. Raman spectrum shows four first-order phonon frequencies and a second-order Raman frequency of the ZnO nanowires. Electrical and photoconductive performance of individual ZnO straight nanowire devices was studied. The results indicate that the nanowires reported here are n-type semi-conductors and UV light sensitive, and a desirable candidate for fabricating UV light nanosensors and other applications.

Structural and photoluminescence studies on catalytic growth of silicon/zinc oxide heterostructure nanowires
Silicon/zinc oxide (Si/ZnO) core-shell nanowires (NWs) were prepared on a p-type Si(111) substrate using a two-step growth process. First, indium seed-coated Si NWs (In/Si NWs) were synthesized using a plasma-assisted hot-wire chemical vapor deposition technique. This was then followed by the growth of a ZnO nanostructure shell layer using a vapor transport and condensation method. By varying t...
متن کاملStudy of the Piezoelectric Power Generation of ZnO Nanowire Arrays Grown by Different Methods
The piezoelectric power generation from ZnO nanowire arrays grown on different substrates using different methods is investigated. ZnO nanowires were grown on n-SiC and n-Si substrates using both the high-temperature vapor liquid solid (VLS) and the low-temperature aqueous chemical growth (ACG) methods. A conductive atomic force microscope (AFM) is used in contact mode to defl ect the ZnO nanow...

Vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) is a well-established process in catalyst-guided growth of nanowires. The catalyst particle is generally believed to be in liquid state during growth, and it is the site for adsorbing incoming molecules; the crystalline structure of the catalyst may not have any influence on the structure of the grown one-dimensional nanostructures. In this paper, using tin particle gui...
متن کاملGrowth of Zinc Oxide Nanowires on Silicon (100)
Single crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have been grown on Si (100) substrates by a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process at temperatures in the range 850-950 °C in an inert atmosphere. The VLS-grown ZnO nanowires have been characterized in detail using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron mi...
