Fabrication and Characterization of Highly Oriented N-Doped ZnO Nanorods by Selective Area Epitaxy

Figure 1

SEM images (a, b, c) of ZnO nanorods grown on patterned (a: sample A and b: sample B) and bare (c: sample C) ZnO substrates. (d) An amplified image of the ZnO nanorods, showing dense hexagonal nanorods in the size of tens to hundreds of nanometers. (e) and (f) The plot of the nanorod number versus the nanorod size distribution (e: sample B, f: sample C).
