Influence of Seeding Layers on the Morphology, Density, and Critical Dimensions of ZnO Nanostructures Grown by Chemical Bath Deposition
文摘
The role of the seeding layer on the form of nanostructured ZnO films grown by chemical bath deposition is studied. We find that the method by which the seeding layer is deposited, the crystallite size, and the thickness have a significant effect on the morphology, density, and the critical dimensions of the ZnO nanostructures subsequently formed. The morphologies obtained include highly ordered, dense nanorod arrays; long rods, unusually growing along the a axis; and three-dimensional clusters.
