Structural and optical characterization of Holmium coated ZnO nanorods

Abstract

One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures have been attracting growing research effort worldwide over the last few years due to their various morphologies, easy synthesis and excellent physical properties for fabricating optoelectronic devices. In this study, we have reported the synthesis of Holmium coated ZnO nanostructures. The structural, morphological and optical properties of our materials were studied using different techniques. The obtained materials show promising properties and the remarkable effects of the coated material. The experimental results obtained for our material exhibit signficant enhancement in properties, which is suitable for the optoelectronic applications.
