Growth of Zinc Oxide Nanopores by Pulsed Laser Ablation
نویسندگان
چکیده
ZnO thin films of porous structure with strong c-axis orientation were deposited on n-type silicon substrate by pulsed laser ablation of ZnO target in low O2 pressure (around 0.03 mbar) and at 600C substrate temperature. We attribute the formation of nanopores and the crater-like formation to the high kinetic energy of the ablated particles. Photoluminescence spectra show the near band edge emission (UV emission) and the defect related emissions in the visible region (blue-green and yellow emission). Raman spectrum of the nanostructures reveals the highly intense E1(LO) mode and this mode is associated with the defect states in ZnO.

Preparation of zinc oxide nanorods using pulsed laser ablation in water media at high temperature.
ZnO columnar single crystals were formed by pulsed laser ablation in deionized water and surfactant aqueous solutions of lauryl dimethylaminoacetic acid (LDA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) at 80 degrees C. ZnO particles produced by laser ablation were dissolved at a higher temperature than 60 degrees C, and then crystalline growth to columnar structure proceeded. While large ZnO col...

Gallium nitride ~GaN! thin films with a wurtzite structure were grown on fused silica ~FS! substrates by pulsed laser ablation of a liquid gallium target in the presence of ammonia gas. X-ray diffraction measurement shows a single c-axis orientation for the GaN film grown with a thin ~,1000 Å! zinc oxide ~ZnO! film as an alignment layer. There is a great improvement in the surface morphology as...
متن کاملHydrogen sensing by localized surface plasmon resonance in colloidal solutions of Au-WO3-Pd
Nowadays, hydrogen has attracted significant attention as a next generation clean energy source. Hydrogen is highly flammable, so detection of hydrogen gas is required. Gold nanoparticle based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is an advanced and powerful sensing technique, which is well known for its high sensitivity to surrounding refractive index change in the local environment. We p...
