Abstract
ZnO nanostructures doped by magnesium impurity were grown on Si substrates by atmospheric pressure MOCVD deposition using Zn and Mg acetylacetonates as initial precursors. XRD patterns confirm the successful incorporation of Mg ions into ZnO lattice. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of Mg-doped ZnO nanostructures demonstrate near-band edge emission and visible deep-level emission with ratios 2.9, 1.3 and 0.3 correspondingly for 1, 2.4 and 5.7 at. % of Mg in ZnO nanostructures. Raman measurements showed decreasing in intensity for ZnO modes with increasing Mg content. The best photodegradation rate constant was observed for ZnO NS with 2.4 at. % of Mg.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
