Synthesis of Aligned Arrays of Ultrathin ZnO Nanotubes on a Si Wafer Coated with a Thin ZnO Film

Aligned arrays of ultrathin, high‐quality ZnO nanotubes (see Figure) have been synthesized via hydrothermal growth methods on Si that has been pre‐coated with a thin film of ZnO. The nanorods are single‐crystalline, with typical wall thicknesses and outer diameters of 5–15 and 20–40 nm, respectively...

Description
Summary:	Aligned arrays of ultrathin, high‐quality ZnO nanotubes (see Figure) have been synthesized via hydrothermal growth methods on Si that has been pre‐coated with a thin film of ZnO. The nanorods are single‐crystalline, with typical wall thicknesses and outer diameters of 5–15 and 20–40 nm, respectively. Annealing the arrays in vacuum causes enhancement of UV photoluminescence.
