Applications of ZnO nanomaterials in optoelectronics are still limited due to their insufficient photoluminescence efficiency. In order to optimize the photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanorods, the UV emission of vertically aligned ZnO nanorods grown on a Si substrate, in correlation with Ga+ io...
