Aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanorods thin films were grown by RFmagnetron sputtering on gold (Au) metal catalyst. The Au catalyst layers with 5, 10, and 15nm thickness were deposited on glass substrates by sputtering method followed by annealing for 15 min at 500∘C to form Au nanostructures on...
