Growth and Epitaxy of ZnO Nanowires on Brass Substrates

Article Preview

Abstract:

One-dimensional nanostructures exhibit interesting electronic and optical properties due to their low dimensionality leading to quantum confinement effects. ZnO has received lot of attention as a nanostructured material because of unique properties rendering it suitable for various applications. In this paper, ZnO nanowires are synthesized in large quantity through thermal oxidation of brass (Cu0.7Zn0.3 alloy). The epitaxial relationship between the brass substrates and ZnO layer and the epitaxial relationship between the ZnO nanowire and ZnO layer have been examined.
