摘要
Sea urchin-like nanostructures of ZnO consisting of ZnO nanowires with blunt faceted ends were grown on Si (100) substrates by oxidation of metallic Zn at 600 degrees C. ZnO nanowires having a diameter of 30-60 nm and length of 2-4 mu m were in similar shape with uniform diameter along its entire length with well faceted blunt ends. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analysis showed that the as-grown nanostructures were highly crystalline with wurtzite hexagonal structure having lattice constants of a=b=3.25 angstrom and c=5.21 angstrom. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements showed a weak near band-edge emission at 380 rim, but a strong green emission at 500-530 mu m. A model for vapor-solid (VS) growth mechanism of ZnO nanowires was presented, in which nucleation of ZnO is crucial for the growth of the nanostructures.
