## Abstract Single‐crystal ZnO torch‐like nanostructure arrays were synthesized using a simple two‐step pressure controlled thermal evaporation method without any catalyst. The nanostructures had a hierarchical morphology, with well‐hexagonal faceted holders and needle‐like flames on them. The diam

Abstract
This work demonstrates seed‐like ZnO nanostructure aggregated with nano‐entities using the colloid chemical method. The formation mechanism and optical properties of the ZnO nanostructure are studied. The X‐ray diffraction spectrum indicates that the ZnO nanostructures are polycrystalline pure wurtzite phase. Multiphonon processes in the nanostructure are identified from the Raman scattering spectra in the spectral range of 300–2000 cm^−1^. A strong violet photoluminescence band emission was visible in the room temperature photoluminescence spectra. This work determines the quality of such crystals and extends the optical applications of ZnO nanostructures. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We have been able to observe the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from 4‐mercaptopyridine (4‐Mpy) molecules adsorbed on ZnO nanocrystals, which display 10^3^ enhancement factors (EFs). An excitation wavelength‐dependent behavior is clearly observed. Another molecule BVPP is also
By using the gas-evaporation technique with an induction heating method, Zn nanoparticles coated with ZnO were prepared in Ar. The Raman spectra of the Zn/ZnO nanoparticles were studied over a wide range from room temperature through liquid nitrogen temperature and up to 873 K. With heating in air,
