Abstract

We report on the deposition and characterization of ZnO nanopore structures by pulsed laser deposition technique at a fixed substrate temperature and at different deposition times on a silicon (100) substrate. X-ray diffraction shows that ZnO nanopore structures are highly oriented along c-axis. Morphological analysis of the nanostructures studied by FESEM and AFM confirms the pores nature of the structures. The morphological evolution of the nanostructures as a function of deposition time is discussed on the basis of Stranski–Krastanov growth model. Optical properties of the nanostructures studied by photoluminescence spectra indicate that the observed transitions are from near band edge as well as from defect-related states.
