Al-doped zinc oxide (ZAO);nanorod arrays;thin film;preparation; photoluminescence. Abstract: ZAO thin films were deposited on glass substrates by sol-gel method and then by controlling processing parameters such as the amount of doped Al and stability, etc.well-aligned Al-doped ZnO nanorod arrays with a narrow diameter distribution were successfully grown on substrates by hydrothermal method, where the substrates were spin-coated with seed layer.The experiments show the 2% Al-doped and diameter about 50nm of ZAO nanorod arrays has the best photoluminescence and surfactants can promote the growth of ZAO rod-like nano-structures and contribute to the formation of ZAO nanorod arrays with highly oriented nanorod arrays.
