Book Fabrication and Characterisation of Device Quality ZnO Nanostructures

Download or read book Fabrication and Characterisation of Device Quality ZnO Nanostructures written by Augustine Che Mofor and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2007-07-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ZnO resurfaced as a very promising semiconductor material for applications in microelectronics, optoelectronics, sensor technology, biomedicine and spin electronics, producing high purity ZnO nanostructures for such applications has rather proven to be challenging. This book first revises the main properties of ZnO as a semiconductor and nanomaterial and also some fabrication techniques for nanostructures. It later concentrates on the development of a vapour transport system for the growth of high quality ZnO nanostructures (mainly nanorods). The book attempts to explain the influence of reactor pressure, growth temperature and growth time on the morphology and quality of ZnO nanorods. While intrinsic (undoped) ZnO nanorods were grown for extensive analysis, transition metal-doped ZnO nanorods were also fabricated and investigated for possible applications in magnetoelectronics/spintronics. Conventional material characterisation methods are also revisited and employed to analyse the crystalline quality, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanorods. Since the book is writtenin an application-oriented fashion, it extends to the fabrication of ZnO nanrorod-based device structures. Here, nano p-n junctions and nano ZnO/ZnMgO quantum well structures are also presented. At the end, the reader clearly sees how ZnO nanorods of extremely high crystalline quality can be grown using an unconventional technique.

Book Fabrication and Characterization of ZnO based Light emitting Diodes

Download or read book Fabrication and Characterization of ZnO based Light emitting Diodes written by Chi-man Luk and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the optimized growth parameters, n-ZnO:Al/i-ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunction LEDs were fabricated. The electrical characteristics of the diodes were investigated. The ultraviolet (UV) electroluminescence (EL) from the device was detected at room temperature. The emission is attributed to the electron-hole radiative recombination in the ZnO region and is explained in detail by an energy band diagram. ZnO nanostructures are expected to have improved optical and electronic properties because of the quantum confinement effect. Using low-temperature aqueous chemical method, the ZnO nanorods arrays were grown on the buffer layers prepared at various temperatures. The nanorods were grown along [0001] direction. The PL measurement indicated that the emission spectrum covered a UV peak at ~ 380 nm and a broad visible band at ~ 560 nm. The PL spectra of the ZnO nanorods are independent on the growth temperature of the buffer layer. Moreover, the buffer-layer-thickness-dependent structural and optical properties were studied. The as-grown ZnO nanorods were utilized to fabricate hybrid LED with an organic semiconductor, N, N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-1, 1'-biphenyl-4, 4'-diamine (?NPD), which is one of the most widely used hole transport and blue-emitting organic semiconductors. Current-voltage characteristics of the devices exhibited nonlinear rectifying behaviour. The EL spectra of the hybrid LEDs reveal a blue and broad yellowish green emission originated from the?NPD layer and the defect levels of the ZnO respectively. The origin of the emission bands from the hybrid structures will be examined.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ZINC OXIDE (ZnO) NANOSTRUCTURES Submitted by Leung Yu Hang For the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in January 2006 Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes by Iijima in 1991, increasing research effort has been devoted to the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials. Materials at this scale exhibit novel properties which cannot be found in their bulk form. In silicon nanowires, for example, the bandgap of Si nanowires increases from 1.1 eV to 3.7 eV when the nanowire diameter decreases from 7 nm to 1.3 nm. In recent years, nanostructures of various semiconductors like Si, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, and zinc oxide have been demonstrated. Among them, ZnO has been recognized as a promising material for a variety of applications in the field of photonics, optoelectronics, gas sensing, field emission, and piezoelectrics. To realize the incorporation of ZnO nanostructures into real life applications, lots of work need to be done, including synthesis of the nanostructures, and understanding of their properties. In this study, a number of ZnO nanostructures (tetrapods, nanorods, nanoribbons/combs, multipods) were fabricated by thermal evaporation and hydrothermal synthesis methods. The morphologies and, structural and optical properties of the resultant nanostructures were then characterized by various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, photoluminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance. It was observed that fabrication conditions could significantly affect the properties of the nanostructures. All nanostructures exhibited one UV peak and one broad peak in the visible spectrum. The major difference is that the nanostructures fabricated by thermal evaporation exhibited green PL emission while the nanorods synthesized by hydrothermal method gave yellow emission. Green emission was observed even without the presence of the EPR signal at g 1.96 in some samples. This result contradicts the commonly cited oxygen vacancy hypothesis of green emission of ZnO. Obviously, that hypothesis does not apply to all ZnO samples. The nanorod sample with yellow emission also exhibited strong EPR signal similar to the green emitting sample. A possible explanation for the obtained results is that there are two different deep levels responsible for the green and yellow emission respectively. Stimulated UV emission of three different nanostructures (tetrapods, nanoribbons/combs, and nanorods) was studied by time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). It was observed that different nanostructures exhibited different lasing thresholds, emission delay times and decay times. The difference in the lasing behaviors of the nanostructures is likely due to the difference in morphology, mode of cavity, or even native defects present in the material.

Book Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Graphene Nanostructures for Electronics and Photocatalysis

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Graphene Nanostructures for Electronics and Photocatalysis written by Seyed Ebrahim Chalangar and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent rapid development of electronics and electro-optical devices demands affordable and reliable materials with enhanced performance. Forming nanocomposites of already well-known materials is one possible route towards novel functional materials with desirable synergistic enhanced properties. Incompatible chemical properties, mismatched crystal structures and weak bonding interactions between the substances, however, often limit the number of possible nanocomposites. Moreover, using an inexpensive, facile, large-area and flexible fabrication technique is crucial to employ the new composites in industrially viable applications. This thesis focuses on the synthesis and characterization of different zinc oxide/graphene (ZnO/GR) nanocomposites, well suited for optoelectronics and photocatalysis applications. Two different approaches of i) substrate-free random synthesis, and ii) template-assisted selective area synthesis were studied in detail. In the first approach, ZnO nanoparticles/rods were grown on GR. The obtained nanocomposites were investigated for better GR dispersity, electrical conductivity and optical properties. Besides, by adding silver iodide to the nanocomposite, an enhanced plasmonic solar-driven photocatalyst was synthesized and analyzed. In the second approach, arrays of single, vertically aligned ZnO nanorods were synthesized using a colloidal lithography-patterned sol-gel ZnO seed layer. Our demonstrated nanofabrication technique with simple, substrate independent, and large wafer-scale area compatibility improved the alignment and surface density of ZnO nanorods over large selective growth areas. Eventually, we found a novel method to further enhance the vertical alignment of the ZnO nanorods by introducing a GR buffer layer between the Si substrate and the ZnO seed layer, together with the mentioned patterning technique. The synthesized nanocomposites were analyzed using a large variety of experimental techniques including electron microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy for in-depth studies of their morphology, chemical and optical properties. Our findings show that the designed ZnO/GR nanocomposites with vertically aligned ZnO nanorods of high crystalline quality, synthesized with the developed low-cost nanofabrication technique, can lead to novel devices offering higher performance at a significantly lower fabrication cost.
