Abstract

By simply controlling temperature and atmosphere, tetraleg ZnO nanostructures with different morphologies and sizes have been fabricated respectively through pure zinc powder evaporation without catalysts at temperature of 600∼800 oC. The growth mechanisms of the nanostructures were proposed and discussed. Photoluminescence spectra showed a UV and green emission peaks at room temperature. Field emission measurements revealed that the turn-on field is very low and the emission current density is relative to the morphology and size. Such ZnO nanostructures are likely to be candidates as building blocks for constructing photonic and field emission crystals.
