چکیده
The orientation-dependent structural properties of Zn(1-x)Mg(x)O nanorods with different Mg concentrations were investigated quantitatively using polarization-dependent extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements at the Zn K edge. Vertically-aligned Zn(1-x)Mg(x)O nanorods were synthesized on Si substrates using catalyst free metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Polarization-dependent EXAFS measurements showed that Mg ions mainly occupied the Zn sites of the nanorods. EXAFS revealed that the distance between Zn-Mg pairs in all directions is - 0.2 angstroms shorter than that of Zn-Zn pairs and that there is a substantial amount of disorder in the Mg sites of the nanorods, independent of Mg concentrations.

Local Structural Properties of ZnO Nanoparticles, Nanorods and Powder Studied by Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure
We investigated the local structural properties of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), nanorods and powder by using extended X-ray absorption ne structure (EXAFS). The average diameter and size of the ZnO NPs and nanorods were about 4.5 nm and 40 nm, respectively. The EXAFS analysis revealed that the bonding lengths of atoms in the ZnO nanorods were slightly elongated along the c-axis while they were shru...
متن کاملElectronic structure of ZnO nanorods studied by angle-dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy and scanning photoelectron microscopy
Angle-dependent x-ray absorption near-edge structure ~XANES! and scanning photoelectron microscopy measurements were performed to differentiate local electronic structures at the tips and sidewalls of highly aligned ZnO nanorods. The overall intensity of the O K-edge XANES spectra is greatly enhanced for small photon incident angles. In contrast, the overall intensity of the Zn K-edge XANES is ...
متن کاملAn illustration of photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanorods array films
ZnO nanorods array films were coated on a glass template through a two-step chemical process. First, a sol-gel spin coating method was used to produce a ZnO seed layer and after that, the ZnO nanorods arrays were grown on it through a low temperature aqueous method. Synthesized films were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). X-ray diffraction results sho...
متن کاملX-ray absorption study of the local order around Mn in Mn:ZnO thin films: the role of vacancies and structural distortions.
This work reports an x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) study at both Mn and Zn K edges in Zn(0.95)Mn(0.05)O thin films prepared with different sputtering gases (pure Ar, Ar/N(2) and Ar/O(2)). We have studied the local order around Mn in the films, with special emphasis on the role played by both oxygen and zinc vacancies and by the structural distortion associated with t...
