Title	The influence of source material composition on morphology and optical properties of ZnO nanostructures
Authors	Zhang, SL1 Tam, KH1 Djurišić, AB1 Hsu, YF1
Keywords	Nanostructures Vapor deposition ZnO
Issue Date	2008
Publisher	American Scientific Publishers. The Journal's web site is located at http://aspbs.com/jnn/
Citation	Journal Of Nanoscience And Nanotechnology, 2008, v. 8 n. 3, p. 1295-1300 [How to Cite?] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1166/jnn.2008.310
Abstract	We investigated the influence of the composition of the source materials on the morphology and optical properties of ZnO nanostructures. The source materials consisted of a mixture of ZnO and carbon, or ZnO, carbon, and another metal oxide (In 2O 3, MnO 2, or V 2O 5). The addition of a different metal oxide to the source materials is a commonly used method to achieve doping and/or alteration of the morphology of ZnO nanostructures. For each metal oxide additive, we investigated the influence of different forms of carbon (graphite, carbon nanofibers, and single wall carbon nanotubes). Obtained nanostructures were studied using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and photoluminescence. The morphology and the optical properties of the obtained nanostructures were strongly dependent on the source material composition. Possible reasons for observed differences are discussed.
