β¦ Synopsis
Quasi-aligned undoped ZnO nanorods with diameter in the range 100-300 nm and length of several micrometers have been grown catalyst-free on Si(1 0 0) wafer in a one-step process by direct heating of Zn powders. All nanowires are single crystals and are aligned vertically to the substrate surface with c-axis preferred orientation. XRD, HRTEM and Raman studies revealed that the ZnO nanorods have wurtzite phase, are highly crystalline and well aligned with the lattice parameters a ΒΌ 0.32 nm and c ΒΌ 0.52 nm. The PL spectra measured at different temperatures are dominated by excitonic emission at $380 nm and less intense below band gap emission band centered at 520 nm.

Green-emitting arrayed ZnO nanorods were fabricated on the ZnO nanoparticulate film by simply refiring the film in the mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen. To generate the arrayed nanorods, the annealing temperature in the air should be above 450 β’ C, the flow rate of the hydrogen should be higher than
ZnO nanorods were prepared on the silicon (100) substrates using the chemical solution deposition method (CBD) without catalyst under a low temperature (90Β°C). The cool water was used to dissolve the mixture of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn (NO 3 ) 2 β’6H 2 O) and methenamine (C 6 H 12 N 4 ) in order
