Fluorescent properties of ZnO nanostructures fabricated by hydrothermal method

Abstract

ZnO nanorods with mean diameter 200nm on different substrates were fabricated by hydrothermal method. Fluorescent properties of fabricated ZnO nanorods were researched by both linear and nonlinear excitation using femtosecond lasers. The damage threshold of productions on Si substrate irradiated under intense femtosecond pulses was found much higher than that on Zn plate. Raman spectrum was also applied to investigate relative optical properties. The A1L optical mode was found to be important to the fluorescent properties of ZnO materials. © 2012 Zhiwei Dong et al.
