Abstract

Ga-doped ZnO nanowires have been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in furnace on gold coated (0001) sapphire substrates. The effect of repetition rate on structural and optical properties of Ga-doped ZnO nanowires are investigated. By controlling repetition rate, the diameter of nanowires is varied between about 60 and 100 nm, and the length of nanowires is varied between about 2 and 4 um. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the structural defects induced by the Ga doping. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ga-doped ZnO nanowires show strong UV emission between 382.394 and 385.279 nm with negligible visible emission.
