Low Temperature Growth and Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Nanostructure Prepared by Two-Step Solution-Based Deposition Method

Abstract:

ZnO thin films with typical c-axis (0 0 2) orientation were successfully deposited on glass substrates by two-step deposition method; mist-atomization and solution-immersion. The samples were annealed at selected temperature range of 350-500 ᵒC. The prepared samples then analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The optical properties of the samples were studied. The results of different annealing temperatures are also compared to investigate the optical and physical properties of each sample. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed low intensity in UV emission and high intensity in the visible emission, which indicates a good surface morphology of the ZnO nanorod. The Raman intensity changes in all sample were also tested.
