| Optical properties of ZnO nanorods (of different sizes, grown on two different substrates) are investigated. Nanorods were grown using microwave-assisted hydrothermal process on gallium nitride or silicon substrate. To initiate nanorods growth on a silicon substrate ZnO nucleation layer was used. ZnO nanoseeds were deposited by atomic layer deposition. For GaN substrate an epitaxial relation was observed. For both substrates nanorods show a hexagonal structure, expected for wurtzite ZnO. Results of nanorods annealing are discussed. |
