Visible-Blind Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on NiO/ZnO NRs with Poly-(N-vinylcarbazole) Intermediate Layer

Huang D-W, Lin H-P, Perng D-C, National Cheng Kung University, TW

Ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) have useful applications including flame detection, environmental monitoring, early missile threat warning systems, etc. UV PDs based on wide-band-gap materials, such as GaN and ZnO have a visible-blind advantage over silicon-based [...]

Growth of ZnO Nanorods in Clay Matrix to Ensure Uniform Dispersion in Drilling Fluids

Abdo J., Haneef D., Sultan Qaboos University, OM

The rheology of drilling fluids plays an important role in controlling drilling operations. The use of modern equipment and most updated technology is wasted if it is not complimented by a compatible drilling fluid. Severe [...]

Annealing effects on electrical and optical properties of

Faraz S.M., NED University of Engineering & Technology, PK

Annealing effects on the electrical and optical properties of ZnO nanorods/Si heterojunction diodes are studied. ZnO nanorods are grown on p-Si substrate by aquous chemical growth (ACG) method .As grown samples were annealed at 400 [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO Nanorods using Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Asghar M., Ali A., Hasan M.-A., Yasin Akhtar Raja M., Islamia University of Bahawalpur, PK

ZnO nanorods stand out as one of the most important candidates for next generation opto- and nano electronics. Synthesis of high quality and stable ZnO nanorods remains a challenge thus far. Similarly fabrication of thermally [...]

Electric Field Assisted Assembly of Perpendicular Oriented ZnO Nanorods on Si Substrate

Lupan O., Chow L., Chai G., Park S., Schulte A., University of Central Florida, US

Self-assembly of nanoarchitectures has attracted high interest driven by the demands of technology and engineering. Chemical and electric field assisted assembly offer a great opportunity in creation of heterostructures in multicomponent systems and in manufacturing [...]
