Abstract
ZnO nanowires with diameters ranging from 20 to 60 nm and lengths in the range 5-15 μm were synthesized by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, assisted by colloidal gold nanoparticles with a diameter of 20 nm dispersed on SiO2 Si substrates. The ZnO nanowires were found to have a high-internal quantum efficiency and negligibly weak deep-level emission, as evidenced by photoluminescence measurements. The clear observation of free-exciton and biexciton emission indicates that the ZnO nanowires prepared by this method are of high quality.
