β¦ Synopsis
a b s t r a c t ZnO nanorods and nanodisks were formed on indium-tin-oxide-coated glass substrates by using an electrochemical deposition method. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the ZnO nanorods were transformed into nanodisks with increasing Zn(NO 3 ) 2 concentration. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the ZnO nanostructures had wurzite structures. The full widths at half maxima of the near band-edge emission peak of photoluminescence spectra at 300 K for ZnO nanorods were small, indicative of the high quality of the nanorods. These results indicate that the structural and the optical properties of ZnO nanostructures vary by changing Zn(NO 3 ) 2 concentration.

The electronic structure and optical properties of ZnO doped with La have been investigated using density functional theory based on first-principles ultrasoft pseudopotential method. The calculated results show that the La doping increases the bandgap of ZnO, in agreement with the experimental resu
