摘要：

ZnO nanowires (NWs) are grown on a bulk copper half-transmission electron microscopy grid by chemical vapor deposition in a high temperature tube furnace. Photoluminescence (PL) microscopy revealed band gap emission at 380 nm and a more intense visible emission around 520 nm due to defect states in these NWs. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the ZnO NWs are single crystalline with hexagonal structure. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy reveal that copper atoms are present along the length of the NW. AES also found that the surface of the NWs is oxygen rich. The surface concentration of zinc increases moving from the tip toward the base of the NW while the concentration of oxygen decreases. The copper in this system not only remains at the tip of the growing NW but also acts as a dopant along the length of the NW, leading to a decrease in the intensity of the band gap PL. of these NWs.
