Abstract
We grew ZnO nanorods (NRs) using a hydrothermal method while rotating the precursor solution, and report the effect of rotation on surface modification, and the optical and ultraviolet (UV) photoresponse properties of the resulting ZnO nanorods. The ZnO NRs grown in the rotating precursor solution at 100 rpm had the..... More

Abstract
Because of their simplicity and low equipment costs, various oxidation methods can be used to create metal oxides, but they still require long processing times and/or high temperatures. In this study, a new electrochemical oxidation (ECO) method, which oxidizes metal in DI water with a constant flowing current to both..... More

Material Analysis & Characterization

Abstract
ZnO buffer layers were deposited on mica substrates using a sol-gel spin coating method. Then, a thin film of metallic Zn was deposited onto the ZnO buffer layer/mica substrate using a thermal evaporator, and the deposited Zn thin films were then thermally oxidized in a furnace at 500 ℃ for.....

Abstract
The vapor phase transport (VPT) process is usually used for the growth of one-dimensional nanostructures rather than for film deposition. In this study, for the first time, we report on the fabrication and optical propeties of ZnO film produced by VPT combined with rapid heating. The X-ray diffraction results showed..... More
