Strong elasticity size effects in ZnO nanowires

Recently, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have drawn major interest because of their semiconducting nature and unique optical and piezoelectric properties. Various applications for ZnO nanowires have been conceived, including the next generation of field effect transistors, light emitting diodes, sensors and resonators. ZnO nanowires are also envisioned as nanogenerators by exploiting the coupling o...

The study of humidity effect on carbon dioxide gas sensing properties of zinc oxide nanowires assisted by polyvinyl alcohol network at room temperature

In this research, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized by low cost hydrothermal method. The grown ZnO nanostructures had a dispersed distribution with nanowire morphology and the specific surface area of about 7 m2.gr-1 which they have crystalized in hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO nanowires/polyvinyl alcohol network (ZP) on the epoxy glass substrate with cu-interdigited electrods...

Room-temperature ultraviolet nanowire nanolasers.

Room-temperature ultraviolet lasing in semiconductor nanowire arrays has been demonstrated. The self-organized, <0001> oriented zinc oxide nanowires grown on sapphire substrates were synthesized with a simple vapor transport and condensation process. These wide band-gap semiconductor nanowires form natural laser cavities with diameters varying from 20 to 150 nanometers and lengths up to 10 micr...

Study of structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO/CuO nanocomposites

In this work, the first ZnO/CuO nanocomposites were synthesized by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), thermal evaporation (PVD) and sputtering on silicon substrates (Si). Then, the structural, optical and electrical properties of the samples were investigated. Examination of the X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the mixed-phase formation of hexagonal zinc oxide (ZnO) and monoclinic copper oxi...
