    Surface morphology, structural and optical properties of polar and non-polar ZnO thin films: A comparative study2009In: Journal of Crystal Growth, ISSN 0022-0248, Vol. 311, no 19, p. 4398-4401Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The polar and non-polar ZnO thin films were fabricated on cubic MgO (1 1 1) and (0 0 1) substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the ZnO thin films grown on MgO (1 1 1) and (1 0 0) substrates exhibit the polar c-plane and non-polar m-plane orientation, respectively. Comparing with the c-plane ZnO film, the non-polar m-plane ZnO film shows cross-hatched stripes-like morphology, lower surface roughness and slower growth rate. However, low-temperature photoluminescence measurement indicates the m-plane ZnO film has a stronger 3.31 eV emission, which is considered to be related to stacking faults. Meanwhile, stronger band tails absorbance of the m-plane ZnO film is observed in optical absorption spectrum.

    Trimming of aqueous chemically grown ZnO nanorods into ZnO nanotubes and their comparative optical properties2009In: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, ISSN 0003-6951, Vol. 95, no 7, p. 073114-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Highly oriented ZnO nanotubes were fabricated on a silicon substrate by aqueous chemical growth at low temperature (andlt; 100 degrees C) by trimming of ZnO nanorods. The yield of nanotubes in the sample was 100%. Photoluminescence spectroscopy of the nanotubes reveals an enhanced and broadened ultraviolet (UV) emission peak, compared with the initial nanorods. This effect is attributed to whispering gallery mode resonance. In addition, a redshift of the UV emission peak is also observed. Enhancement in the deep defect band emission in the nanotubes compared to nanorods was also manifested as a result of the increased surface area.

    Bending flexibility, kinking, and buckling characterization of ZnO nanorods/nanowires grown on different substrates by high and low temperature methods2008In: Journal of Applied Physics, ISSN 0021-8979, E-ISSN 1089-7550, Vol. 104, no 10, p. 104306-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Nanomechanical tests of bending flexibility, kinking, and buckling failure characterization of vertically aligned single crystal ZnO nanorods/nanowires were performed quantitatively by nanoindentation technique. These nanostructures were grown by the vapor liquid solid (VLS) method, a relatively high temperature approach, and the aqueous chemical growth (ACG) method, a relatively low temperature approach on different substrates, including SiC and Si. The first critical load at the inflection point found for the ZnO nanorods/nanowires grown by ACG method was 105 mu N on the SiC substrates and 114 mu N on the Si substrates. The corresponding buckling energies calculated from the force-displacement curves were 3.15x10(-12) and 2.337x10(-12) J, respectively. Similarly, for the samples grown by the VLS method, the first critical load at the inflection point and the corresponding buckling energies were calculated from the force-displacement curves as 198 mu N and 7.03x10(-12) J on the SiC substrates, and 19 mu N and 1.805x10(-13) J on the Si substrates. Moreover, the critical buckling stress, strain, and strain energy were also calculated for all samples. The strain energy for all samples was much less than the corresponding buckling energy. This shows that our as-grown samples are elastic and flexible. The elasticity measurement was performed for all the samples before reaching the first critical and kinking inflection point, and we subsequently observed the bending flexibility, kinking, and buckling phenomena on the same nanorods/nanowires. We observed that the loading and unloading behaviors during the bending test of the as-grown samples were highly symmetrical, and also that the highest point on the bending curves and the first inflection and critical point were very close. ZnO nanorods/nanowires grown on SiC by the ACG method, and those grown by the VLS method on Si substrates, show a linear relation and high modulus of elasticity for the force and displacement up to the first inflection and critical point. The results also show that the elasticity of the ZnO single crystal is approximately linear up to the first inflection point, is independent of the growth method and is strongly dependent on the verticality on the surface of the substrates. In addition, the results show that after the first buckling point, the nanorods/nanowires have plasticity, and become more flexible to produce multiple kinks.

    Size dependent carrier recombination in ZnO nanocrystals2010In: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, ISSN 0003-6951, Vol. 97, no 13, p. 131909-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Experimental and theoretical studies of fluorescence decay were performed for colloidal ZnO nanocrystals. The fluorescence lifetime reduces from 22 ps to similar to 6 ps with decreasing nanocrystal radius. We postulate that non-radiative surface states dominate the carrier dynamics in small ZnO nanocrystals and perform Monte Carlo simulations incorporating carrier diffusion and carrier recombination to model the experimental fluorescence decay dynamics. The percentage of excitons undergoing nonradiative decay due to surface trapping is as high as 84% for nanocrystals with 8 nm radius, which explains the ultrafast decay dynamics observed in small ZnO nanostructures even at low temperatures.

    Ultrafast carrier dynamics of near-band-edge emission in single-crystal ZnO nanorods2011In: Materials research bulletin, ISSN 0025-5408, E-ISSN 1873-4227, Vol. 46, no 6, p. 937-940Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We report on rational synthesis and optical characteristics of highly crystallined ZnO nanorods which were grown by a facile chemical vapor transport method. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of as-fabricated ZnO nanorods are dominated by near-band-edge emission with a characteristic fine structure due to high crystallinity. Furthermore, the recombination emission involving carrier dynamics of near-band-edge emission in ZnO nanorods was systematically investigated by temperature-dependent time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Recombination peaks pertaining to the exciton emissions are monitored and resolved in both temporal and spatial regimes.

    Zinc oxide nanorod based photonic devices: recent progress in growth, light emitting diodes and lasers2009In: NANOTECHNOLOGY, ISSN 0957-4484, Vol. 20, no 33, p. 332001-Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Zinc oxide (ZnO), with its excellent luminescent properties and the ease of growth of its nanostructures, holds promise for the development of photonic devices. The recent advances in growth of ZnO nanorods are discussed. Results from both low temperature and high temperature growth approaches are presented. The techniques which are presented include metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), vapour phase epitaxy (VPE), pulse laser deposition (PLD), vapour-liquid-solid (VLS), aqueous chemical growth (ACG) and finally the electrodeposition technique as an example of a selective growth approach. Results from structural as well as optical properties of a variety of ZnO nanorods are shown and analysed using different techniques, including high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL), for both room temperature and for low temperature performance. These results indicate that the grown ZnO nanorods possess reproducible and interesting optical properties. Results on obtaining p-type doping in ZnO micro- and nanorods are also demonstrated using PLD. Three independent indications were found for p-type conducting, phosphorus-doped ZnO nanorods: first, acceptor-related CL peaks, second, opposite transfer characteristics of back-gate field effect transistors using undoped and phosphorus doped wire channels, and finally, rectifying I-V characteristics of ZnO: P nanowire/ZnO:Ga p-n junctions. Then light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on n-ZnO nanorods combined with different technologies (hybrid technologies) are suggested and the recent electrical, as well as electro-optical, characteristics of these LEDs are shown and discussed. The hybrid LEDs reviewed and discussed here are mainly presented for two groups: those based on n-ZnO nanorods and p-type crystalline substrates, and those based on n-ZnO nanorods and p-type amorphous substrates. Promising electroluminescence characteristics aimed at the development of white LEDs are demonstrated. Although some of the presented LEDs show visible emission for applied biases in excess of 10 V, optimized structures are expected to provide the same emission at much lower voltage. Finally, lasing from ZnO nanorods is briefly reviewed. An example of a recent whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing from ZnO is demonstrated as a way to enhance the stimulated emission from small size structures.

    Light-emitting diodes based on n-ZnO nano-wires and p-type organic semiconductors2008In: Proc. SPIE 6895: Zinc Oxide Materials and Devices III, SPIE - International Society for Optical Engineering, 2008, p. 68950O-1-68950O-10Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    After our recent successful demonstration of high brightness white light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs) based on high temperature grown n-ZnO nanowires on different p-type semiconductors, we present here LEDs fabricated on n-ZnO nano-wires and p-type organic semiconductors. By employing a low temperature chemical growth (≤ 90 °C) approach for ZnO synthesis combined together with organic p-type semiconductors, we demonstrate high quality LEDs fabricated on a variety of different substrates. The substrates include transparent glass, plastic, and conventional Si. Different multi-layers of p-type organic semiconductors with or without electron blocking layers have been demonstrated and characterized. The investigated p-type organic semiconductors include PEDOT:PSS, which was used as a anode in combination with other p-type polymers. Some of the heterojunction diodes also contain an electron blocking polymer sandwiched between the p-type polymer and the n-ZnO nano-wire. The insertion of electron blocking layer is necessary to engineer the device for the desired emission. Structural and electrical results will be presented. The preliminary I-V characteristics of the organic-inorganic hybrid heterojunction diodes show good rectifying properties. Finally we also present our findings on the origin of the green luminescence band which is responsible of the white light emission in ZnO is discussed.

    Zinc oxide nanowires: controlled low temperature growth and electrochemical and optical devices2009In: Journal of Materials Chemsitry, Vol. 19, no 7, p. 1006-1018Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper we present our new findings on the growth, characterization and nano-devices based on ZnO nanowires. We will limit the scope of this article to low temperature grown ZnO nanowires, due to the fact that low temperature growth is suitable for many applications. On growth and size control we will present our methodology for the growth of ZnO nanowires on Si substrates using low temperature techniques. The effect of the annealing on these low temperature grown ZnO nanowires is investigated and discussed. We then present our results on the surface recombination velocity of ZnO nanowires. This will be followed by the demonstration of new prototype nano-devices. These nano-devices include the demonstration of two new electrochemical nano-sensors. These are the extended gate glucose sensor and the calcium ion selective sensor using ionophore membrane coating on ZnO nanowires. Finally we will present results from light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on our ZnO nanowires grown on p-type organic semiconductors. The effect of the interlayer design of this hybrid organic–inorganic LED on the emission properties is highlighted.

    Correlated d(0) ferromagnetism and photoluminescence in undoped ZnO nanowires2010In: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, ISSN 0003-6951, Vol. 96, no 11, p. 112511-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We report the correlated d(0) ferromagnetism and photoluminescence in undoped single-crystalline ZnO nanowires synthesized by using a vapor transport method. We systematically tune the oxygen deficiency in the ZnO nanowires from 4% to 20% by adjusting the growth conditions, i.e., selecting different catalyst (Au or Ag) and varying the growth temperature. Our study suggests that oxygen vacancies induce characteristic photoluminescence and significantly boost the room-temperature ferromagnetism. Such undoped ZnO nanowires with tunable magnetic and optical properties are promising to find applications in multifunctional spintronic and photonic nanodevices.

    Synthesis and Optical Properties of ZnO Nanostructures2008Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures have great potential applications in the fields of optoelectronic and sensor devices. Therefore, it is really important to realize the controllable growth of one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures and investigate their properties. The main points for this thesis are not only to successfully realize the controllable growth of ZnO nonawires, nanorods and quantum dots (QDs), and also investigate the structure and optical properties in detail by the methods of scan electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), resonant Raman, photoluminescence(PL) and low-temperature time resolved PL spectrum.

    to grown ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs) on Si substrates. Firstly, the effects of ZnO nanoparticles, pH value of chemical solution, angel θ between substrate and beaker bottom on the structures of the samples were symmetrically investigated and the optimized growth condition to grow ZNAs can be concluded as follows: seed layer of ZnO nanoparticles, pH=6 and θ=70°. On the basis of these, the diameter of ZNAs was well controlled from 150nm~40nm through adjusting the diameter and density of the ZnO nanoparticles pretreated on the Si substrates. The experimental results indicated that both diameter and density of ZnO nanoparticles on the substrates determined the diameter of ZNAs. But when the density is higher than the critical value of 2.3×108cm-2, the density will become the dominant factor to determine the diameter of ZNAs.

    One the other hand, the optical properties of ZNAs were investigated in detail. The Raman and photoluminescence (PL) results showed that after an annealing treatment around 500oC in air atmosphere, the crystal structure and optical properties became much better due to the decrease of surface defects. The resonant Raman measurements excited by 351.1nm not only revealed that the surface defects play a significant role in the as-grown sample, but also suggested that the strong intensity increase of some Raman scatterings was due to both outgoing resonant Raman scattering effect and deep level defects scattering contribution for ZnO nanorods annealed from 500°C to 700°C. It is the first time to the best of our knowledge that the Raman measurements can be used to monitor the change of surface defects and deep level defects in the CBD grown ZnO nanorods. We have also presented, for the first time, a time resolved PL study in CBD grown ZnO nanorods with different diameters. The results show that the decay time of the excitons in the nanorods strongly depends on the diameter of the nanorods. The altered decay time is mainly due to the surface recombination process. The effective time constant related to the surface recombination velocity was deduced. A thermal treatment under 500°C will suppress the surface recombination channel, resulting in an improvement of the optical quality for the ZnO nanorods.

    This thesis not only provides the effective way to control the size of ZNAs, but also obtains some beneficial results in aspects of their optical properties, which builds theoretical and experimental foundation for much better and broader applications of one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures.

    2009 (English)In: Journal of Alloys and Compounds, ISSN 0925-8388, E-ISSN 1873-4669, Vol. 469, no 1-2, p. 623-629Article in journal (Refereed) Published
    Abstract [en]

    Well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs) with different sizes in diameter were fabricated on Si substrates by two-step chemical bath deposition method (CBD), i.e. substrate pre-treatment with spin coating to form ZnO nanoparticles layer and CBD growth. The effects of substrate pre-treatments, pH, angel (θ) between substrate and beaker bottom and growth time (t) on the structure of ZNAs were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scan electronic microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). The results show that substrate pre-treatment, pH, θ and t indeed have great influence on the growth of ZNAs, and their influence mechanisms have been, respectively, explained in detail. The introduction of a ZnO nanoparticle layer on the substrate not only helps to decrease the diameter but also has a strong impact on the orientation of ZNAs. Under the growth condition of pH 6, θ = 70° and t = 2 h, the well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with 50 nm diameter was obtained on the pre-treated Si substrates. And only a strong UV peak at 385 nm appears in room temperature PL spectrum for this sample, which indicates that as-synthesized ZnO nanorods have a perfect crystallization and low density of deep level defects.

    Abstract [en]

    The diameter of well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs) grown on Si substrates has been well controlled from 150nm to 40nm by two-step chemical bath deposition method (CBD), i.e. substrate pretreatment with spin coating to form ZnO nanoparticles seed layer and CBD growth. The effects of ZnO nanoparticles density and diameter on size and alignment of ZNAs were investigated in detail by atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scan electronic microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL). The results indicate that both diameter and density of ZnO nanoparticles which were pre-coated on the substrates will influence the size and alignment of ZNAs, but the density will play a key role to determine the diameter of ZNAs when the density is higher than the value of 2.3×108cm-2. Moreover, only a strong UV peak at 385 nm appears in room temperature PL spectrum for these samples, which indicates that  as-synthesized ZnO nanorods have a perfect crystallization and low density of deep level defects.

    Abstract [en]

    Vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods on Si substrates were prepared by a two-step chemical bath deposition method. The structure and optical properties of the grown ZnO nanorods were investigated by Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results showed that after an annealing treatment at around 500 degrees C in air atmosphere, the crystal structure and optical properties became much better due to the decrease in surface defects. The resonant Raman measurements excited by 351.1 nm not only revealed that the surface defects play a significant role in the as-grown sample, which was supported by low temperature time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, but also suggested that the strong intensity increase in some Raman scatterings was due to both outgoing resonant Raman scattering effect and deep level defect scattering contribution for ZnO nanorods annealed from 500 to 700 degrees C.

    Verticallywell-aligned ZnO nanorods on Si substrates were prepared by atwo-step chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The optical properties ofthe grown ZnO nanorods were investigated by time resolved photoluminescencespectroscopy. It was found that the effective decay time ofthe near bandgap recombination in the CBD grown ZnO nanorodsstrongly depends on the diameter of the ZnO nanorods. Typically,the decay curves obtained from these ZnO nanorods show acombination of two exponential decays. The experimental results show thatthe fast exponential decay is related to the surface recombinationand the slow decay is related to the “bulk” decay.The measured decay time of the effective surface recombination decreaseswith decreasing diameter, while the bulk decay time remains unchanged.The results also show that an annealing treatment around 500 °Csignificantly reduces the surface recombination rate. A simple carrier andexciton diffusion equation is also used to determine the surfacerecombination velocity, which results in a value between 1.5 and4.5 nm/ps.

    Size-controlled growth of well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with two-step chemical bath deposition method2009In: Journal of Alloys and Compounds, ISSN 0925-8388, E-ISSN 1873-4669, Vol. 469, no 1-2, p. 623-629Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs) with different sizes in diameter were fabricated on Si substrates by two-step chemical bath deposition method (CBD), i.e. substrate pre-treatment with spin coating to form ZnO nanoparticles layer and CBD growth. The effects of substrate pre-treatments, pH, angel (θ) between substrate and beaker bottom and growth time (t) on the structure of ZNAs were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scan electronic microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). The results show that substrate pre-treatment, pH, θ and t indeed have great influence on the growth of ZNAs, and their influence mechanisms have been, respectively, explained in detail. The introduction of a ZnO nanoparticle layer on the substrate not only helps to decrease the diameter but also has a strong impact on the orientation of ZNAs. Under the growth condition of pH 6, θ = 70° and t = 2 h, the well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with 50 nm diameter was obtained on the pre-treated Si substrates. And only a strong UV peak at 385 nm appears in room temperature PL spectrum for this sample, which indicates that as-synthesized ZnO nanorods have a perfect crystallization and low density of deep level defects.

    Effective Suppression of Surface Recombination in ZnO Nanorods Arrays during the Growth Process2010In: Crystal Growth & Design, ISSN 1528-7483, E-ISSN 1528-7505, Vol. 10, no 4, p. 1904-1910Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    ZnO nanorods arrays are respectively prepared under different vapor pressures with opening (OZN) or sealing (SZN) of the beaker. The results from time-resolved photoluminescence measurements indicate that sealing the beaker during the growth process can effectively suppress the surface recombination of ZnO nanorods, and the suppression effect is even better than a 500 degrees C post-thermal treatment or OZN samples. The results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal that the main reason for this phenomenon is that the surfaces of the SZN samples are attached by groups related to NH3 instead of the main surface recombination centers such as OH and groups in the OZN samples. The ammonia surface treatment on both OZN and SZN samples further testifies that the absorption of the groups related to NH3 does not contribute to the surface recombination on the ZnO nanorods.

    Origin of the surface recombination centers in ZnO nanorods arrays by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy2010In: Applied Surface Science, ISSN 0169-4332, E-ISSN 1873-5584, Vol. 256, no 11, p. 3592-3597Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The surface composition of as-grown and annealed ZnO nanorods arrays (ZNAs) grown by a two-step chemical bath deposition method has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS confirms the presence of OH bonds and specific chemisorbed oxygen on the surface of ZNAs, as well as H bonds on (1 0 (1) over bar 0) surfaces which has been first time observed in the XPS spectra. The experimental results indicated that the OH and H bonds play the dominant role in facilitating surface recombination but specific chemisorbed oxygen also likely affect the surface recombination. Annealing can largely remove the OH and H bonds and transform the composition of the other chemisorbed oxygen at the surface to more closely resemble that of high temperature grown ZNAs, all of which suppresses surface recombination according to time-resolved photoluminescence measurements.

    Surface Recombination in ZnO Nanorods Grown by Aqueous Chemical Method2009In: PHYSICS OF SEMICONDUCTORS: 29th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors / [ed] Marília J. Caldas, Nelson Studart, Melville, N.Y, USA: American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009, p. 319-320Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    ZnO nanorods on Si substrates were prepared by either a two-steps chemical bath deposition (CBD) method or thermal evaporation technique. 11 was found that the effective decay time of the near bandgap recombinations strongly depends on the method, which was used to grow the ZnO nanorods. ZnO nanorods grown by the CBD exhibit characteriristic two-exponential decay curves, while ZnO nanorods grown by thermal evaporation technique show single exponential decays. The experimental results show that the fast exponential decay from the CBD grown ZnO nanorods is related to the surface recombination, while the slow decay is related to the "bulk" decay. The results also show that an annealing treatment around 500 degrees C to 700 degrees C significantly reduces the surface recombination rate.
