摘要
In this contribution, we compare the photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanorods and epilayers with those of bulk ZnO. Owing to the high aspect ratio (length of 4-14 mu m, diameter of 80-500 nm), the characterized ZnO nanorods show very good optical properties. Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio in ZnO nanorods, surface excitons dominate at low temperature. The optical properties of nanorod ensembles improve with increasing nanorod length. The photoluminescence emission from free A excitons was intense in the ZnO layer at 13 K. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
