Synthesis and Characterization of Mn Doped ZnO Nanorod Arrays

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mn-doped ZnO nanorod arrays (ZnO:Mn NAs) have been prepared by a solution deposition method and the effect of Mn modification has been studied. Microstructure, morphology, photoluminescence characteristics of the ZnO: Mn NAs were investigated using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectrometer, fluorescence spectrophotometer. XRD analysis shows that ZnO:Mn NAs are wurtzite phases and highly c-axis oriented. As for ZnO:Mn NAs, obvious changes of photoluminescence intensity are observed at the wavelength of 395nm and 550 nm, according to Mn/Zn atomic ratio.
